Reality or Fantasy

Days fly like birds on the wing,

time never seems to stand still.

Many times I often wonder—

Is it me in the mirror

or just a reflection of a memory?

*

I wonder if we’re really here

or perhaps on a dream-like journey.

*

Can it be that life is really a reality

or is our world just full of fantasy?

*

We seem to always be coming and going,

never knowing when the whirlpool,

of time will end.

So many things to learn about each day,

so many things to consider.

The journey goes on and on

and we must follow along.

Time passes and starts anew,

sometimes it seems we’re just racing through time.

At journey’s end we know we will find,

the rewards that are coming to us.

In the meantime we must stand strong,

never give up, never stop believing,

above all hold on to your dreams,

they are the most important of all.

Never stop dreaming,

never stop believing,

just move along,

as each new year shines,

bringing a brighter future,

more joy and gladness—

always just around the next bend.
