No Good Thing Ever Dies

Dreams are like the stars we see 
on a clear moonless night. 

They steer us through the darkest times 
and keep the path in sight. 

Whatever happens on the road ahead 
that may pull us to the side.

Dreams will always guide us 
as we  swim against the tide. 

Battles rage and wars are lost, 
heads are bowed as they count the cost

But whilst star light shines from a blackened sky 
and hope be born of a butterfly

Dreams above it all will rise
And no good thing ever dies.

In Dreams

Today I went for a walk. I promised myself over Christmas I would get more exercise this year and try to be a little bit healthier but this wasn't one of those walks. 

Yesterday, Friday 13th of January 2012 my Dad was told his cancer had returned, no real details at this stage but there isn't much to add I doubt. He looked so small and helpless in his dressing gown in the ward and me trying to give him hope. I hope there is hope..

This came from the walk:

Think of something else to think at at.

But don't think about that.

Look at the trees

And look at the river

Look at the sky

In dreams he'll be there with her

In dreams I'll be there too

In dreams my mother whispers

We're both so proud of you.
