Always in my dreams
reminder of the past
seems so real even now
why
Waking me from sleep
feeling out of sorts
not understanding
why
Sometimes even when awake
creeping in around the edges
a shadow and a dream
why
Unable to forget
always coming back
still here
why

Seeping into my dreams like a misty fog
nothing I can do to stop it
it invades my sleep an uninvited intruder
until you become all that I can see
Between the fog of awake and asleep it exists
this dream I cannot remove from my mind
over and over the scenes replay
and you are always there
It comes only in the night when I cannot prevent it
filling my thoughts with feelings believed to be long dead
as if you are right there with me I can almost smell you as I sleep
and it is you who is always there
As awakening approaches they start to fade
the vision becomes dimmer by the daylight through the window
and just like before I wake to find
that you were never there at all

On the road to who you will become you must feed the desire
stoke the coals and tend the heart’s fire
listen closely to what your soul says following your dream
so much easier and yet harder than it can seem
The path to who you can become is managed only by you
not what others think what they say or anything they do
for only you can determine where your path will end
and all along your heart’s fire you must always tend
Reach out for what you want let nothing stop you
listen only to yourself to know what is right and what is true
let no one hold you down hold you back make you stumble or fall
for it is up to you to become all
The road to who you can become is filled with twists and turns
and it is only you who knows for what your soul yearns
listen closely tend the fires always moving ahead
following your dreams to where you will be led
Know that what you wish to become is well within your power
now is the time to start this minute this very hour
all that you can become is waiting just for you
take what you want by what you say and do

Success is what you make it all in what you do
the way you take a dream and see it through
no one else can give it to you it’s something that you earn
and in success it’s through failure that you truly learn
Success can be in the small things or in the very great
but it does not come to those who sit and wait
only to you who are willing to work to sacrifice to begin again and again
to never see a roadblock as truly an end
Success comes to those who never point fingers or blame others when they fail
when they stumble they never whine or wail
responsible for their own mistakes and for their own shots at being great
they open their own doors and walk through their own gates
Success has to be created, worked for, taken by you
with every word you speak or write, with everything you do
no one can give it to you it comes from deep inside
in the heart of the successful all great things reside
