Dreams of the Lost
Some people look for many things
To find their happiness,
And yet surprised with what life brings
That won't ease their duress.
Sometimes they think that somewhere else
Is where their treasure is,
Till shiny things begin to melt
And music turns to fizz!
If all else fails, they then search for
A person willing to
Give wisdom, hope and much, much more
Though debt will soon accrue!
