Dreams
Dearest, may you never give up on dreams
the far future you envision is real
requiring sacrifice, strict routines
in spite of the intense pressure you feel
never give in to the pain, I appeal
following dreams may be lonely and hard
but is the most rewarding cause and yard
the path of dreams will yield fullness of life
as you journey, let hope be your heart’s guard
let these dreams be your rhythm and your fife.
the far future you envision is real
requiring sacrifice, strict routines
in spite of the intense pressure you feel
never give in to the pain, I appeal
following dreams may be lonely and hard
but is the most rewarding cause and yard
the path of dreams will yield fullness of life
as you journey, let hope be your heart’s guard
let these dreams be your rhythm and your fife.
