Catalina's Milky Way Dreams
(c) Re- Written 2024 - By The Depressed Poet, Doc Dalton
Shooting Stars and fast moving CarsRumble through the roads of my mindTick-e-ty Tock, the old sounds of the clockSay's it's almost a quarter past nine
The moons surely rising, the stars are a glidingAnd Mr. Sandman is ready to roamHurry off to bed and put your pillow under your headHe might just be visiting you tonight at homeDrifting off to sleep is such a wonderful featAdventures you'll enjoy on your ownMaking new friends on a journey to no endA secrete life that is yours all aloneDon't be afraid of those gobble lee goo'sOr those pirates drifting to sea on their boatsThere's no need to worry there just in your dreamsLike rainbow clouds and cotton candy floatsOh that sky's full of colors of make believe wondersExciting every step of the wayCan't you let me stay for just a little bit longerPlease, don't take my Dreams a wayTo see this through a child's eyesOn the path to where stars brightly beamThrough a different world of twist and twirlsWon't you come to my Milky Way DreamsWe could have so much funUnder an ice cream sun and laugh our time awaySing some M & M songs the whole day longUntil we awake to brand new day
Pluto say's hey kiddo don't get out of bedAs Snakel Puss laughs and says, ah it's OKKKKKKKKPopeye yell's, were gone in a minute after I eat me spinachPoo say's all aboard my Banana Split SleighOh that Sky's full of colors of make believe wondersExciting every step of the wayCan't you let me stay for just a little bit longerWorry not Catalina, we won't take your Dreams a way
To see this through a child's eyesOn the path to where stars brightly beamThrough a different world of twist and twirlsWon't you come to my Milky Way Dreams
Catalina say's, please come join me, on my Milky Way Dreams




It has never been said that life would be easy. It has never been said that every path or journey we would take, would bring us directly to the life of contentment or happiness. It was also never said that every path would be a straight one where we would never hit a bump in the road or a turn that might leave us thinking, what in the world is happening to me. Sometimes the walk of faith is just that, one we must take in faith alone and not look back on our past steps so to speak. Those same steps that would leave us only trusting in the Lord 100% and leaving our journey within his hands and his hands alone. There is an old saying that God Protects Drunks and Fools. I can say with complete honesty that I have never been much of a drinker, and I can also say with that same honesty that I have been a dam fool through-out my life. Yes, it is with-out a doubt that the good Lord has protected me and still does till this day and to say thank you for this protection, just doesn't' seem like enough. Appreciation and gratitude should always be at the forefront of our life, but sadly at times it's just not. Please believe me when I say, I do appreciate everything and I mean that from the bottom of my heart but in saying that we must remember, we are human and we live in the now and the present and when something affects us personally, everything and everyone else is thrown out of the so-called window of life because at that precise moment in time the only thing we can think about, is us. Thinking to me is overrated to start off with. We spend a lifetime thinking about things that more than likely we will never need to remember until that one day comes along where we really need to think about a specific thing and we just can't. Why you might ask and the answer is simple. Because we have now acquired so much clutter that is floating around in our brain that it is like sifting around in your jammed packed garage that you have stored stuff in for the last 40 plus years and today is that day, you need to find that something of non importance that was created in 1978. IT JUST AIN'T HAPPENING AND YES, I USED THE WORD, AIN'T. Thinking and the placing things in the correct content in your mind can at times be easily understood if you use common sense, honesty, and wisdom. The way you get that honesty and wisdom is through years of understanding and what you need to understand is that you, like I have been a fool for a very long time. I am not trying to insult you, I am trying to be honest with you. Please understand this. The wisdom part comes to play when you realize the mistakes you have made along the way and now be accountable for them and today start walking a much better path. Do not only be accountable for those mistakes, but start placing everything in perspective or in this case, in order. To understand that we all go through some trials and tribulations in life and to also understand that we also cause a lot of our own craziness on ourselves. It is extremely important with this newfound wisdom to understand that no matter what we have gone though, weather it just happened on its own or we fell victim to our own foolishness, the one thing you can count on is that the Lord has never left your side. There is a true appreciation in knowing that he has always been there while at the same time others have sadly not realized this and have turned their backs and walked away from the Lord. Question, when does your newfound way of thinking take you to such a place, that you now smile and say to yourself, I understand more than I did yesterday, and it is time for me to start changing today, so my tomorrows can even be better? Maybe those bumps in the road, and those twists and turns that took you to places that you never expected to go to or wanted to go to were put there purposely by the Lord, so it would bring you to the place that you are at today because remember, the Lord never left your side. I wish you love, a great day and may everyday here after, be better than the one before.
