The River

Back when I had just met David, He got me into country music and one of the first few songs that I just fell in love with is "The River" by Garth Brooks.. it just meant a lot because of dreams I have and some seemed so impossible and some I knew could happen if I worked hard at it. But of course that song is rarely ever played on the radio anymore because it's an old song etc. BUT this morning as I was getting out of the shower I had the radio on listening ot it and soon it played "The River" and I just felt I needed to post it on my blog today...

In this time of my life there is still dreams that I have that I would love to accomplish and there are dreams that I have already accomplished.. I have accomplished having a steady job for the last 2 1/2 years, I am married to a man who is very good to me and who endures my moody days ;), I have a home, a car, I have things that I can now get if I wanted.. well some things at least hehe..

Here is the song... I hope that it gives you some thoughts as to how true this song is that relates to everyone having dreams ..



"The River" By Garth Brooks

You know a dream mis like a river
Ever changin' as it flows
and a dreamer's just a vessel
That must follow where it goes
Trying to learn from what's behind you
and never knowing what's in store
Makes each day a constant battle
Just to stay between the shores,.. and

I will sail my vessel
'Til the river runs dry
Like a bird upon the wind
These waters are my sky
I'll never reach my destination
If I never try
So I will sail my vessel
'Til the river runs dry

Too many times we stand aside
And let the waters slip away
'Til what we put off till tomorrow
Has now become today
So don't you sit upon the shoreline
And say you're satisfied
Choose to chance the rapids
And dare to dance the tides,... Yes

I will sail my vessel
Till the river runs dry
Like a bird upon the wind
These waters are my sky
I'll never reach my destination
If I never try
So I will sail my vessel
Till the river runs dry

There's bound to be rougher waters
And I know I'll take some falls
But with the good Lord as my captain
I can make it through them all... YES

I will sail my vessel
Till the river runs dry
Like a bird upon the wind
These waters are my sky
I'll never reach my destination
If I never try
So I will sail my vessel
Till The river runs dry

Yes, I will sail my vessel
Till the river runs dry
Till the river runs dry


I see my niece and nephews growing up and I know they have dreams that they have had since they were little and knowing they want to acheive those dreams and I hope that no matter what the obstacles that may come their way that they will over come them and finally acheive what they hope and dream for.

Dreams of our futures are so real and alive and they can continue like that as long as we never give up when we come upon a brick wall.. We have to break down the wall and be able to get what we want..

I stil have dreams that I have and I still hope one day they will come true.. and I will keep running my vessel till the river runs dry!
