Dream To Be Poem by Francie Lynch

Dream To Be


So, you're a dreamer.
You dream of being a celeb
Who's chased and snapped,
Emulated, envied and rich.
That's a lovely, although
Common dream.

Why chase such a
Mundane dream,
Someone else's
Dream,
When you can choose
Your own unique
Fantasy.

We don't have conscious,
Sub-conscious, or,
Unconscious control
Of our dreams.
In this instance,
You do.

Dream to be a
Bricklayer,
And build others'
Houses of dreams.

Dream to be a
Cop,
And help others escape
Nightmares.

Dream to be a
Farmer,
And feed billions
Of hungry spectators.

Dream to be
Good parents,
And raise dreamers
And realists.

Dream to be a
Fine friend,
And take Selfies
Til you can't
Hold your arms.

Dream to be a
Teacher,
Who brings
Others' dreams
To fruition.

So many dreams
To be had,
So many people
To fill them.

Never stop dreaming
Awake in
The real world.
