There are different ways of coping with illness - to keep a positive 'future' in your mind is one way to keep going through the bad times.
Dreaming
I spent my life dreaming
Dreaming day and night
Making it seem much better
Turning darkness into light
I dreamed that I was grown up
And was happy as could be
I would have my chosen job
Many places go to see
And, I promised, to myself
To make it all come true
Then I would see a world
That has a different view
'Can dreams become reality?'
I would ask - to seek the truth
Frightened of the answer
'Only the future will be proof'
But on the way, my dreams
Gave hope - when time was dire
Kept me battling on and on
In that way I didn't expire
When pain has finally ended
And the sun shines bright for me
I shall smile once again
And be what I should be
