I’ve dreamed many dreams that never came true.
I’ve seen them vanish at dawn.
But I’ve realized enough of my dreams, Thank God,
To make me want to dream on.

I’ve prayed many prayers, when no answers came,
Though I waited patient and long,
But answers came to enough of my prayers
To make me keep praying on.
I’ve trusted many a friend that failed
And left me to weep alone,
But I’ve found enough of my friends true blue
To make me keep trusting on.
I’ve sown many seeds that fell by the way
For the birds to feed upon,
But I have held enough golden sheaves in my hands
To make me keep sowing on.
I’ve drained the cup of disappointment and pain
And gone many days without song,
But I’ve sipped enough nectar from the roses of life
To make me want to live on

I just heard the most wonderful song by Kerrie Roberts called “Keep Breathing.”
Take a moment to listen to it.
You won’t regret it.
Then pass it on, share it with someone, you’ll know who.
The lyrics are posted beneath the youtube video.
You wait in darkness for answers that you can’t see
You know what you deserve
And you’re wondering why your life is
Not what you thought it should be
When the night breaks, your heart still aches
How can you face the day?
Just keep breathing, you’ll make it
Don’t give in, you’re not done yet
Sometimes all that you can do is keep breathing and believing
Don’t let go, just hang on tighter a little longer
When you feel like you’re dying, keep breathing
Don’t give up, don’t give in, don’t let go
No, you’re not done
Don’t give up, don’t give in, don’t let go
When every moment is almost more than you can take
You’ve got to know some tomorrow will bring you a breakthrough
It’s the reason why you got to get through today
When the night’s gone you will be strong
Keep breathing, you’ll make it
Don’t give in, you’re not done yet
Sometimes all that you can do is keep breathing and believing
Don’t let go, just hang on tighter a little longer
With every breath you’re bringing hope
[ Kerrie Roberts Lyrics are found on www.songlyrics.com ]
You’re letting go of all your doubts
When nothing is easy, you got to keep going
Even when you don’t know how
You don’t have to know how, no
Keep breathing, you’ll make it
Don’t give in, you’re not done yet
Sometimes all that you can do is keep breathing and believing
And don’t let go, just hang on tighter a little longer, whoa
Keep breathing, you’ll make it
Don’t give in, you’re not done yet
Sometimes all that you can do is keep breathing and believing
And don’t let go, just hang on tighter a little longer
Keep breathing, don’t give up
No, you’re not done yet
Don’t give up, don’t give in
Don’t let go, no, you are not done yet
Don’t give up, don’t give in
Don’t let go, no, you are not done
Don’t give up, don’t give in
Don’t let go, no, you are not done
Don’t give up, don’t give in
Don’t let go, no, you are not done.
Just a little reminder of paying conscious attention to HOW we react to things can not only make a positive difference in our own personal development, but can also, when least expected, potentially affect thousands of people.
