dreams come true or do they?

Dreams come true or do they?
thinking back on my childhood
did I have dreams?
were they realistic?
what were my dreams?
where did I loose them?
On thinking now, I think my dream was to have a job, do the work I had found a liking for and meet that special man, fall in love, get married and have several children
That did not happen, I fall in love, yes
but with a married man
I fall pregnant and gave birth to a daughter
My first born, I loved her from the very start
Her father wanted me to have an abortion
That was out of the question
It was not even a choice
I raised our daughter without him,
at times it was so very difficult

over 6 years had past
then something happened that changed my life for ever
going into town,my daughter was with me, we were involved in a car accident, it involved a truck, two people were killed that day, a mother and child, they were innocent people walking on the side of the road
today this still haunts me....

The father of my child,came back into my life, we started seeing each other again, you see I still loved him after all this time. There had not been any other man, all that time
I fall pregnant with my second daughter, I also loved her from the very start
I was older then,more settled. this was my secret and I never told anybody until I really had too
The father never asked me to have an abortion this time

Again I was left to raise our children alone
They are now adults, they have been my blessings from God, I can't tell you how proud I am of both of them. They are both beautiful and achievers. My eldest daughter is married, with two beautiful children of her own
My youngest daughter has just completed university, she passed with cum laude, no easy task, she was the only one from her class to get this achievement!!

My dreams are pretty much the same, to have a man too love me, too hold me, to defend me and keep me safe, perhaps I would even travel across the earth to found him?

But is this the dream that I really want now?

No, I have other dreams now that seem to make me cry from my soul, I miss my eldest daughter so very much and my grandchildren and my son in law, its like a very big part of me is missing!!

If my original dreams are meant to be, one day they will,but for now I will cherish what I have!!
I have a job with a boss that I respect and like
I have my two daughters whom I love very much
I have my sisters, I love them
I have my grandchildren
I have my nieces and nephews
I have my animals, cats and a dog
the cat is a very good companion,when I am at home,she is always with me

then there is someone else, I have to share everything with him, good or bad
thank you honey for putting up with my tantrums and bad moods, thank you for always being there for me, I love you!!

Dreams don't have to come true, just remember to keep your dreams alive, they give us hope and keep us focus, at the same time always cherish what you got now!!

Growing Old With You

by Karl Wild GG23

It all began about 60 years ago,
 On a very special summers day,
 For two unexpected teenage kids,
 Love was about to come their way.
 Boy meets girl, things move quick,
 Nobody gave their love a chance,
 It's been seen a million times before,
 Just another hopeless young romance.
 But for this couple it was different,
 Since day one it was meant to be,
 It was that forever fairytale happiness,
 The kind you can only see on T.V.
 One day she looked at him and asked,
 "What is it with your life you'd like to do?"
 He gently kissed her forehead and said,
 "Sweetheart, I dream to grow old with you"
 Smiling because they were so in love,
 Suddenly he got down on one knee,
 Pulled out a beautiful diamond ring,
 And asked "Princess, will you marry me?"
 Tears falling from her big brown eyes,
 It was a yes as she nodded her head,
 And just seven short months later,
 These two teenage kids were wed.
 They bought a house and settled down,
 Got pregnant and gave birth to a little girl,
 How is it at just twenty-three years old,
 They could have everything in the world.
 For fifty years their lives were perfect,
 As grandchildren grew the love did too,
 But with a simple trip to the doctor,
 The future suddenly held a different view.
 He was diagnosed with bone cancer,
 The doctors didn't give him very long,
 He fought with everything he had left,
 But at eighty, he wasn't very strong.
 As he lay in a hospital bed about to die,
 Hand in hand with his best friend and wife,
 He said "I want you to know since Nineteen,
 You've been my everything, my whole life"
 With tears falling from her big brown eyes,
 She asked "did all of your dreams come true?"
 He kissed her forehead and with his final breath,
 Said "Of course princess, I grew old with you"
