Dreams why do you torment me so? <br />With visions of that for which I long for the most <br />But alas shall never come to be <br />Visions which escape my grasp every time like a ghost <br /> <br />Soon they haunt my days as well <br />They‘ll float by at a random, unexpected time <br />Suddenly catching me off guard <br />And once again they fill with hope my foolish mind <br /> <br />A hope that is euphoric but alas useless <br />As I have many times come to see <br />These visions of what I long for but will not come <br />With me always shall they be <br /> <br />Forevermore there will be no rest in my nights <br />Nor will there be peace in my days <br />Only through Him could these dreams ever come true <br />His is the only possible way <br /> <br />O Lord you put these longings into my heart <br />Only through you can they come true <br />Please give me that hope on which I can rely upon <br />Then my dreams can mean something new<br /><br />Casey O'Sheridan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/dreams-332/
