Take what you can

by The Po whet   May 19, 2016


If you want to achieve your dreams
never dream with your eyes closed.
Dream with your ambitions and aspirations
...dream with your heart.
Obama dreamt and with him took
the American dream.
Lupita struggled and ensured
her dreams were validated.
Columbus sailed out with only his conviction.
Maathai bled sacrifice,
now her forests blossom .
Dream too
but when you wake up,
take with you what you can.

    To many of us do wander around society with our eyes closed dreaming about what might have been, what we are owed by society which is nothing. We need to open our eyes and move forward through life, not so much dreaming as doing what we need to fulfill the dreams we already have and not expecting the world to owe us anything. We need to work for what we achieve.
