Often, When I Dare to Dream...

Often, when I dare to dream,
it is of such fine people like you
that I do;

Often, when I dare to aspire,
it is the song of your gentle voice
that reassures me;

Often, when I dare to create,
it is the image of your beauty
that inspires me to;

Often, when I dare to dance,
it is the memory of your grace
that moves me;

Often, when I dare to feel,
it is the heartbeat of our youth,
that rings loud and true;

Often, when I dare to remember,
it is the glory of my having known thee,
that readily overtakes me;

Often, when I dare to visualize,
it is the qualities of your heart,
that shine in most splendid hues;

Often, when I dare to be myself,
it is the spontaneity of your being,
that motivates me so powerfully.

Often, when I dare to yearn,
it is the glitter in your blue eyes,
that inspire visions of a love so true.
