Ideals Of Views Poem by Margaret Alice Second

Is it possible to respond to disappointment with
the honour, dignity and courage as prescribed
for a meaningful life that brings happiness and
pride? Can we respond to all temptations and
challenges in the same way? Trying to find out

I'm meeting today's disappointment with as much
dignity, courage and honour I can muster, reading
quotes on the Internet about the true source of real
happiness; turning my mental station to FM Classic,
listening to soothing music while thinking about my

Ultimate goal, the relief found by releasing mental
pressure in words appearing on screen, dreaming
of being a beauty queen - the most difficult of all
fantasies were I ever seen; luckily imagination is
stubborn and refuses to conform to reality

I still run and dance everywhere in my mind, having
a tomboy life, achieving nothing more than enjoying
spring mornings on pristine snow-covered hills, also
watching the ideals of views I desire to see growing
in my mind…
