MY SHATTERED DREAMS, by                    
First Line: The dream of my life has been shattered
Last Line: And god may there on them smile.
Subject(s): Dreams; Pain; Tears; Nightmares; Suffering; Misery


The dream of my life has been shattered
By cruel and heartless fate.
My soul seems weak and forlorn,
And nothing my pain can abate.

But what is one poor blasted dream
In the scheme of things here below?
I must not lose faith in mankind,
But must find fresh courage to go.

With untarnished hope through the years
That are left to me here on earth.
Must dry my futile tears,
Must show my soul's true worth.

Perchance these poor shattered dreams,
If they have been worthwhile,
May be made whole again in heaven,
And God may there on them smile.
