I've Dreamed Many Dreams

~Author Uknown

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 answer came
Tho' I've waited patiently and long,
But the answers have come to enough prayers
To keep me praying on.

I've sown many seed that fell by the way
For the birds to feed upon;
But I've held enough golden sheaves in my hand
To 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.
