What Dreams May Come
A Poem
Life is not a fairytale
It’s scary as hell
You can never tell
What’s around the corner
Taught to believe in fantasies
Of how we wish things to be
Hoping for all good things
Having us disappointed in reality
Tsk tsk
For nothing is without risk
Every shot you don’t take
Is one you have missed
Aim for the center
When something you want enters your life
And you may have your wishes granted
A tree can only grow if it’s planted
