Some say that there's a lot more pleasure <br />In the wanting, than the getting <br />I disagree, for over the years <br />So many dreams have disappeared <br />And many plans and ambitions <br />Were never allowed to come to frutition <br />Life always seemed to find a way <br />Of putting obstacles in my path <br />Doing what other people wanted <br />And what other people asked <br />At times I've felt as if I were <br />A ship just drifting on endless seas <br />Yet I have never given up the hope <br />Of finding that longed for harbour <br />For some day, my time will come <br />I'm certain that it will <br />I need no captain for my helm <br />Ah, bring me that horizon<br /><br />Marilyn Shepperson<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/there-s-hope-yet/
