The Promise of a Dream (poem)
It’s waiting there beside that lonely road
His reason for a new and brighter day
The promise of a dream that never showed
-
Who knows the fabric that this one was sewed
Whose welcome smile was never far away
It’s waiting there beside that lonely road
-
Who knows the hopes and Joys with which he strode
Whose welcome warmth oft set soft fears astray
The promise of a dream that never showed
-
When he appeared how calm the wind then flowed
To tell Joy’s tears to wash away dismay
It’s waiting there beside that lonely road
-
Yet not a soul dared secret there was stowed
Blind eyes without a single word to say,
The promise of a dream that never showed
-
Now where is he to whom so much was owed
Pray what will chase the clouds away today
It’s waiting there beside that lonely road
The promise of a dream that never showed
