wishes and dreams in jars

"wishes and dreams in jars"

I placed my wishes and dreams in jars
hoping one day to open the lids
releasing them into the sky
flying like fireflies at dusk
but the time never seemed right
I held them for so long
that one day it was too late

  2. Awwwww. This is deeply, tragically sad. The out-date is so important on all jars, isn't it?

  3. We always released the firefly nightlights the next morning so they wouldn't die. Dreams? not sure. Very sad.

  4. So sad. Our own fears prevent so many dreams from being fulfilled.

  5. Timing is everything, I guess. We've all missed those opportunities. Live and learn.

  8. Oh...too bad. We must not save those wishes and dreams for a rainy day as that day may never come. Very poignant a lesson here.
