Dreams

January 20

I am thankful for dreams. Not the kind you have while you're asleep (although I like some of those and I'm sure they are beneficial to our psyches), but the ones in which you see possible futures and then strive to those goals. These dreams are one of the chief reasons we retain our passion for life. Dreams keep us from getting stuck in a rut, as long as we take action into moving toward those dreams. Even if the carriage turns into a pumpkin and the coachmen into mice at midnight, having the dream is still good.

the dream of man III

the dream of man

is the dream to dream

for possibilities

and promise unseen

looking ever forward

and never back

it’s for the potential

of the attack

to rise high

going ever upward

on his daily quest

the goal to move toward

the dream of man

is the age old dream to dream

for promise and outcome

to bring together the theme.
