Broken But Not Forgotten

My dreams were huge and vast
When I shook all fears
And set foot on this brave
New land

Never have I seen such beauty
Never have I seen such fun
Never have I seen such respect
Respect for each and everyone

I had dreams I would
Make it to the top

I had dreams I would
Never never stop

I had dreams I would
Build my own train

I had dreams I would
Charter my own
Luxury plane

So many dreams
Yet decades later
Where did it go?

Was it buried under
A big pile
Perhaps a heap
Of snow

I see reruns of yesteryears
I sit in my living room
And cry silent tears

Where did the time go
What did I do
Why did I always taunt
"Nya nya nya I am
So much better than you?"

What was my life about
What was the point
Did I ever do anything of value
Other than avoid living with
A family that is joint

Where can I go from here
What can I do
Or is this where the journey stops
Too bad, Boo hoo?

Things from the past
Makes you reminisce
It makes you think
"What if"
"What if"
"What if"

Things from the past
Make you realize
People are no more
You can no longer
Use them as benchmarks
To keep score

So where do we go from here
How can we improve
Or in our frail twilight years
Is it time for our
Spirit, however imperfect
To move?
