Questions

Is it not true that on such days

when quiet snow is spread

across a land 'neath expansive skies

that are painted gold and red

there is a time when all reflect

on all that could have passed

and dream of ones that moved along

and how the die was cast

Is it not true that at such times

we wander in our minds

to better days when life was real

and we knew better times

before the interfering

of those who would derail

the plans once made about forever

before we knew we'd fail

Is it not true that nowadays

it seems I shouldn't ask

were all things equal now today

would there be a second chance

for all that was before they set

our universe off course

and wrecked what was a magic dream

with deliberate fateful force

Is it not true that nowadays

though it does seem much too late

that still there is a longing for

our true predestined fate

and if there were a simple way
 things could be as they should be?
would it not be your fondest wish

that we would reclaim our destiny

To make your dreams come true, first you must dream them
