Analysis of Dream Not Of Dismay
Teresa Whitney 1951 (Tacoma)
Dream not for miracles,
To happy every day,
Be positive my friend,
Learn how to pray,
Ask deep from within,
What can it be,
Drawing me down,
Tormenting me,
Once you have found,
Your troubled source,
Then you will move on,
Yes, but of course,
Look at the brightness,
Side of each day,
And then you move on,
In a different way,
Hold fast to desires,
And blessings too,
Even should they seem,
To be ever so few,
Go now my friend,
Dream not of dismay
