Roses Of Life

Today’s post compliments of the amazing Anonymous. Have a stupendous weekend everyone. Be good to each other.

I've dreamed many dreams
that never came true,
I've seen them vanish at dawn.
But I've realized enough of my dreams,
thank God,
To make me want to dream on.

I've prayed many prayers,
when no answers came,
Though I waited so patient and long,
But answers came to enough of my prayers
To make me keep praying on.

I've trusted many a friend who failed
And left me to weak alone,
But I've found enough of my friends to be true
To make me keep trusting on.

I've sown many seeds that fell by the way
For the birds to feed upon,
But I've held enough
golden sheaves in my hands
To make me keep sowing on.

I've drained the cup of
disappointment and pain
And gone many days without song,
But I've sipped enough nectar
from the roses of life
To make me want to live on.
