Just A Dream Away Poem by Jim Yerman

When his dream was shattered
he couldn't understand how his life…once filled with comedy
Had changed course overnight and become a tragedy

So he traveled to the wise one and asked her,
when it comes to dreams…what wisdom could she impart….
"Your dreams, " she said with a smile, "are a blending of your mind…
your soul…
your heart."

"There are three things to remember about dreams that apply to everyone…
even you.
The first is you must have a dream if that dream is ever to come true.

The second, when it comes to dreaming, is this reality
No dream, no matter how magnificent…comes with a guarantee.

The third thing you need to remember in this life as you wander through
is to never stop your dreaming because your last dream didn't come true.

For it would truly be a tragedy if for the rest of your nights and days
you never knew true happiness was just a dream away.
