Days to Remember

Build your dreams with greatest care Don’t think on lives great sorrowed past Create a world so wondrous That through ice and fire it will last

Tatertot and I sharing a life lesson

We are architects of our fate

working within constraints of time

Some mens lives do seem so blessed

while others seem riddled with crime

 

For each of us stack stones of life

from our yesterdays we borrow

The blocks from which we build our days

are foundations for tomorrow

 

Build your dreams with greatest care

don't think on life's great sorrowed past

Create a world so wondrous

that through ice and fire it will last

 

Your child’s future held in your hands

go from failures cold darkened din

Show your son where you are going

not the tale of where you have been

Author's Note

Be the beacon your child uses to light his way!
Not the darkened night he shuns!

I get from this to keep carrying on. No matter what life will throw at you. Very good.

This is fabulous. I like the message that you tell. Don't live in the past, live, really live for tomorrow. Very nicely done!

What fine words for all to read, not just those with children.
I love the tune backing your poem!! I used to listen to The 10,000 Maniacs and then Natalie Merchant when she "went out on her own". Gee, I probably have cassette tapes of their tunes stashed 'round here somewhere? Hope you're having a good week!! Sallie Bear
