Hold Fast to Dreams

Hold fast to your dreams,they shelter you through lonely nights,

gently they become the pillow,that puts destination in your sights.

Hold tight to the memories,the heart ache that burns,

for the one who wins,is the one who remembers and learns.

Nurture the moments,handle with care,for destiny states,

for each heart there`s a pair.

Cast off the anger,and its deep rooted seed,remember it was anger ,

that caused your heart to bleed,

Snuggle each memory,a warm blanket held tight,

bringing you vision,guidance, sunlight.

Push away despair, nurture the hope,so impossible it seems,but the only way out,

is to hold fast to dreams.

On top of that, Walt’s father was a cold and abusive man. Walt did not experience aff ection from his father.

Powerful Words

If I can weave words together,I will, to ease your pain.

I will choose words that can remind you,show you the beauty this life brings.

In times that you are troubled,And you are feeling cold and blue.

I will whisper words of encouragementMake meaningful conversations with you.

So wipe your tears and listen,To every word I will say!

For words are truly powerful,In taking one's blues away.
