Sailing stormy seas
Harbor welcomes home
Each victory won
Drifting back ashore
Future never waits
Grasping dreams today
Breathing youthful pride
Joy running ashore
Dropping life’s anchor
Haven’s quiet place
Yesterday’s wishes
Bringing each ashore
Recalling each step
Gifts for tomorrow
Fading memories
Past stepping ashore
Love shining brightly
Embracing new life
Fulfilling journey
Life coming ashore
Maturing spirit
Quest’s uplifting star
Sailing planet’s seven seas
Searching for home, life be free
Scouting horizon’s distance
Globetrotting with persistence
Navigating stormy seas
Crossing without gentle breeze
Tasting bitterness each day
Observing clouds, gloomy gray
Spending endless hours at sea
Scouting for home’s hidden key
Fleeing long-forgotten goals
Looking out one more porthole
Haunting, longest nights at sea
Racing in sailing’s grand prix
Losing track of endless time
Enduring life’s wintertime
Dreaming of home, never free
Waking up, always at sea
Knowing this quest just might end
Finding home, let’s not pretend
Keep alive the dream; for as long as a man has a dream in his heart, he cannot lose the significance of living.
Don’t ask yourself what the world needs. Ask yourself what makes you come alive, and go do that.
Howard Thurman (1899-1981) was a American author, theologian, and civil rights leader. His writings mentored many leaders in the civil rights movement, including Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
Midnight sky awakes
Milky Way explodes with dreams—
Hang on to each star
Remaining patient
Sometimes life comes full circle—
Second chance arrives
Trapped in harsh desert
Mountain of perseverance—
Thirst finally quenched
Beauty without words
Stirring each silent chorus—
Morning’s sunrise beams
Chilly summer night
Hint of early autumn dreams—
Calendar page turns
Woven together
Composing her melodies—
Harmony praising
The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.
Many people will walk in and out of your life, but only true friends will leave footprints in your heart.
Eleanor Roosevelt (1884-1962) was a former first lady of the United States during her husband’s tenure as President (1933-1945). Her life was filled with many accomplishments and pursuits outside of her political involvement with her husband: diplomat (United Nations) and activist (human rights).
To make your dream come true, you have to stay awake.
From Ephesians 3:20: “Now to Him who by the power at work within us is able to accomplish abundantly far more than all we can ask or imagine.”
Hearing hope-filled words
Again and again
Different story
Always same message
Better tomorrow’s
Waiting in the wings
Whatever issue
Life’s hollow words sting
Today’s hope searching
Empty souls stare out
Yesterday shattered
Future dreams snuffed out
Confidence shaken
Sunrise uncertain
Starving for action
Grieving voices weep
Life struggles onward
Energy waning
From smallest ember
Hope’s flame still glowing
Searching far and wide
Encircling landscape
Riding each morning
Cowboy’s day takes shape
Working ‘til sunset
Riding saddleback
Fulfilling life’s dream
Cowboy’s tasks unpack
Tracking each stray steer
Bringing safely back
Riding in cold rain
Cowboy’s small payback
Earning little pay
Tasting land’s treasures
Riding hard saddle
Cowboy’s few pleasures
Living with toughness
Facing shortcomings
Riding treeless range
Cowboy’s homecoming
Nightly dream
Taking midnight walk
Quiet time
Whispering thoughts talk
Nightly peace
Wakening clouds part
Moon shining
Warming lonely heart
Nightly quest
Peeling away soul
Light traces
Filling spirit whole
Nightly view
Crossing distant bridge
Darkness looms
Scaling lofty ridge
Nightly dream
Finishing each ride
Silence tames
Rising sunrise hides
Big Sky Buckeye
