Dreams & Plans

Rating: 4.7


When you want, something new in your life,
You must be open, to change,
You can't' just rely on others,
To follow, and rearrange.

If your always on the hunt,
Trying to be first, at the firing line,
It's easy to lose track, of your goals,
Dreams & plans, over time.

There are certain, moments,
We have to, change & act our age,
We can not return, to our childhood days,
A part of our life, we have planet earth, as our stage,

Never sell out your soul,
For the excitement, of one day,
There are times, we must say no,
Be proud of ourselves, smile and walk away.

A beautiful poem, very inspiring, the last stanza particularly! Yes, we must have dreams in our life, and we must plan deliberately to achieve those dreams. 'There are certain, moments, We have to, change & act our age, We can not return, to our childhood days, A part of our life, we have planet earth, as our stage - an excellent concept. The poem gets maximum from me,5*****.

When you want, something new in your life, You must be open, to change, ...Never sell out your soul, .........superb philosophical writings; yeah; in this life need to change inside and outside but always bad into good; for this changing no need to sell the self existence; self conscience, self knowledge, self experience; this is life; varieties colors there are; just need to dye with every color by righteously fixing the own existence; congrats for being selected this poem as POD....5****
