MY DREAM
Mary Lou Rogers 6/19/98

A poem I recently read was meant for me  
Yes, my dream will soon be my reality  
I'd never want to be naked on any beach  
But my lifetime goal is now within my reach.  

I dreamed of filling the educational gap  
And the videos to do it will soon lie in my lap  
People of every nationality, age, color and creed  
Will soon have my videos to fulfill their need.  

No longer will ignorance be thought of as bliss  
Because what I'm producing simply cannot miss  
First I'll teach math, and prove that it's fun  
Then I'll teach reading and writing to everyone.  

Yes, the dream that I have is a special one, no need to sob**  
My dream is a dream that no one can rob  
I can feel that God is with me, right by my side  
I can see how my life He is trying to guide.  
 
 

Thought for the Day
Author Unknown
Thought for the Day  
Too often we don't realize  
what we have until it is gone;  
Too often we wait too late to say  
"I'm sorry - I was wrong."  

Sometimes it seems we hurt the ones  
we hold dearest to our hearts;  
And we allow foolish things to tear our lives apart. 

Far too many times we let  
unimportant things into our minds;  
And then it's usually too late  
to see what made us blind.  

So be sure that you let people know  
how much they mean to you;  
Take that time to say the words  
before your time is through.  

Be sure that you appreciate  
everything you've got'  
And be thankful for the Little Things  
in Life that mean a lot.
