Try it...you'll like it

They seem so neat and orderly to me
these dreams planted in my wee brain
You may wonder why I care for them so;
without them I can't stand the pain
So you think I'm a trite, haughty dreamer,
I have no rebuttals to say
I'm an enemy of hopeless reason;
I'll fight it til my dieing day
So call me what you want and think what you may...but


The day might come when my dreams become real
and I no longer have to be scared
Or the day may come when these hopes and dreams
will be buried with me but I've dared
To dream the dreams and the hopes like a child
who hadn't a clue in the world
No hint that it can all easily end
as quickly as being unfurled
So call me what you want and think what you may...but


Who really knows all for certain, might you?
I sure as hell don't and can not
If I stop hoping and plotting my plans
that's when I will have not a shot
Why let forever come crashing around
my feet in a heap on the floor
I cannot permit myself to be bound
to bridle my fate I am sure
So call me what you want and think what you may...but


If they never dwelt inside of my mind
my eyes would see nothing but grey
There would be no glimmer not one small chance
of getting that part in that play
This parlor game that we all know as life
has winners but only a few
I am not trying to win the top prize
I just want to garner a view
So call me what you want and think what you may...but


I have declared to live for my dreams high
in hopes that some day they'll come true
Am I now a fool? I dare to say not
Well maybe I am but are you?
Are you too a fool who chooses to dream
of things you can't see but can feel
Or are you a wit who opts just to crave
the small part you see that is real
So call me what you want and think what you may...but


When and if that fine day should come
I'll be there with wide opened arms
Ready to grab it and savor the time
accepting my new founded charms
Never forgetting those long times without
those days when I plotted the schemes
Those frightful days when all I did have
were wishes and hopes and big dreams
So call me what you want and think what you may...but


I want to say Thank You to...

My Dreams

how fortunate you are to have them in the plural sense...

I guess I am fortunate to have dreams in the plural sense. I honestly can't say that any of my dreams have yet to materialize but I feel that I have to keep hoping and working towards them. Maybe some day they will, I just can't let them go by the wayside if I ever hope even the most minute to realize itself.
