To dream the impossible dream
To fight the unbeatable foe
To bear with unbearable sorrow
To run where the brave dare not go.

To right the unrightable wrong
To love pure and chaste from afar
To try when your arms are too weary
To reach the unreachable star

This is my quest, to follow that star,
No matter how hopeless, no matter how far
To fight for the right without question or pause
To be willing to march into hell for a heavenly cause

And I know if I'll only be true to this glorious quest
That my heart will lie peaceful and calm when I'm laid to my rest

And the world will be better for this
That one man scorned and covered with scars
Still strove with his last ounce of courage
To reach the unreachable star</font>

Can I add to this post??

The Morning Glory

I awaken to the glory of the morn',
sunshine streaking, birds cheerfully cheeping,
another day is born.

The Morning Glory inaudibly climbs,
and shares its shy beauty, so rare.
And, we know that behind its mystery,
Our Creative God is there.

He blesses us with sunshine,
He blesses us with rain,
because it's only through the showers,
that do we not, remain the same.

So, as this new day awakens,
and I'm cradled securely in Your arms,
May Your love forever keep me safe,
and sheltered from all storms.

This is so beautiful I'm crying. It is such a great song, I had almost forgotten it.

And the Morning Glory poem, reminds me of what a gift you are to this site.

Ok, the poem and the music have me crying too. God is my unreachable star. I remember being 15 years old and in my room singing this song trying to find God and thinking that He was the star in the song. I'm still trying to find Him and I will never never never never never never give up. Thanks Debbie, I saw God's love in the poem. I really needed that.

P.S. Snooorrrkkkhinfscoork
I love it that you are both always here, and everyone else too. If you see Smoke, tell her I'm itching.
