When we are young, we dream of so many things.
The days, the nights,
The love, the sights. . .
It all seems so right, so wonderful, so enchanting,
Ah, but the life we live is the life we make.
Maybe it's good that we can't have everything we imagine. Some of my thoughts from years ago wouldn't have been half as good as the life that eventually did happen. Happy PPF!
God, family, and friends are most important. Crocheting art dolls for my nursing home friends and oldsters are a new challenge that I look forward to. Everyone needs someone. . .I learned from my friend that having a doll friend is sometimes the only companion that can be related to especially in times of loneliness. I try to carry them with me so I can give them away as needed. I love to see their faces as they choose their doll.
a lovely poem to go with the image... have a great week...xx
ReplyDeleteWe can still have those dreams even when we are older but at that stage we learn to be wiser with it by appreciating the little things in life too.
