Because

by:"Steven Reiser"

Because we have things in common

We have the joy of sharing them

Because we are so different

There is so much we can learn from each other

Because we love each other

We look for the good in the other

Because we are forgiving

We overlook the faults in each other

Because we are patient

We give each other time to understand

Because we are filled with kindness

We compliment the things we do for each other

ecause we can empathize

We know what it¹s like to stand in each other¹s shoes

Because we have character

We enjoy each other¹s uniqueness

Because we have faith

We believe in the best for the future

Because we are honest

We are comfortable to trust each other

Because we are filled with loyalty

We always know the other will be there

Dreams of Past and Present

by:"Steven Reiser"

Dreams are part of , what life is made of

We began as children, as dreams of love

We learned our own dreams as we grew

Striving each day to make them come true

Dreams made me wonder, ³Who am I?²

Never ever ceasing, to wonder why

Dreams let me know what I wanted to be

Knowing something better was inside of me

Dreams for my own life have come true

Making each day so special and new

Now the dreams of others I want to share

With deep understanding, because I really care

Dreams of the present to you now turn

Wondering about you and what I will learn

I dream of the softness of your voice when we talk

And being beside you when we go for a walk

My dreams are now of peace and tranquility

To share them with you and you with me.
