LIFE, LOVE, HOPE, DREAMS, REALITY, by JULES Subscribe to rss feed for JULES

In the Beginning.

We are brought into this world full of Life, Love, Hope and
Dreams.

We start LIFE filled with dreams of the future.

We start LOVE - our heart and souls filled with it, again
dreaming of the future with someone.

We start HOPE - hoping for a great future altogether - it
all fits perfectly together in our minds.

Then we become ADULTS. Scary word...ADULTS. 

We come of age.

REALITY sets in.

Hard to understand why we get hurt when we LOVE.

Hard to understand why LIFE seems so difficult at times.

Hard to understand why HOPE seems fleeting at times.

Hard to understand why our DREAMS do not always come to
fruition.

Hard to understand why we have to hold on by our fingernails
to LIFE, LOVE, HOPE and our DREAMS.

In this thing called LIFE on Earth.

Can we hold on? Will we let our fingernails break off and
slip off the cliff?

REALITY seems a bit much...too much at times. 

We push people we love out of our lives to succumb to
loneliness and despair, at times...too many times....

sometimes.

Let financial worries and broken hearts rule our lives. Too
many times.

We want to live life to the fullest. Be happy and carefree
everyday. Damn this REALITY THING. 

Here is the key: 

Hang onto your family and friends. Do not let them slip
away. 

Hang onto to your Life with all your might.

Hang onto Hope with all our being in a power greater than
yourself from above.

Hang onto Love, even with a broken heart. 

Hang onto your Dreams, and never let them die, for a time
will come when it does all come together. 

Do not let Reality get in your way of these things that
dampen our souls, mind and spirit. 

For one day, we will be in Heaven and not this Hell on Earth
any longer. 

And we shall have all the LIFE, LOVE, HOPE and DREAMS.

In the End, This is the true REALITY.
