A baby cannot return to the womb,
nor can an arrow return to the bow.
Wise people have warned us that
what we say cannot be taken back.
Though nature has the ability to repair
petals once separated from buds,
will never return before next spring.
before cropping the wings of a bird think twice,
imaginations will never return to an empty eyes,
life without dreams is like a body without soul.
Dreams are an essential part of living. Your lovely poem describes the need for them well.
