    On my Way to Reality
    On My Way to Reality

    A funny thing happened to me
    On my way to reality
    After the act of being born
    I traveled the highway called forlorn

    Stopping only to refuel on dreams and visions
    That would further power future decisions
    That I hoped would lead the way
    To a bright and better day

    But on the way to reality I found
    Indifference from others as I looked around
    For they sought their own reality
    And wanted very little to do with me

    Some hitch hiked upon my dreams
    To remain dry from the deepest streams
    Of dire pain and adversity
    Hoping I was a short cut to their reality

    Some my most heartfelt dreams tried to steal
    By telling me what I sought was not real or ideal
    While others my visions sought to frustrate
    By telling me I was moving too soon and to wait

    Still others combed through my dreams with fine tooth comb
    Leaving me feeling unloved and alone
    While still others sought to destroy me
    On my way to my reality

    So as I continue on
    I have much to reflect upon
    But mostly how well God keeps blessing me
    On my way to my reality

    H. Wilson

    When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.

    John F. Kennedy (1917-1963) Thirty-fifth President of the USA
