And during this time
Dreams were established
Goals defined
Standing alone
Seeing it all now
The challenges and triumphs
The ups and downs
One year passed
Success on the rise
Struggle and hard work
Building in size
The needs of others
Came in high demand
Creating the profit
And the need to expand
Three years passed
Feeling so alone
Sustaining business
Stress deals a heavy blow
Health becomes an issue
Pushing pain aside
Family on the back burner
Personal needs denied
Five years passed
Decisions to be made
Economy undermining
The foundation laid
Business closing
Gain greater than loss
Friendships developed
From paths that crossed
Five years passed
The journey bittersweet
Necessity satisfied
The dream is complete
*For Sister Y...I love you
Like your blog...I think it's fantastic! ;) (Sad for you and Y and all who are grieving the dream)
