Ticket For A Dream Poem by Anna Mae Angana

Ticket For A Dream



For all their yearnings,

They’re one step ahead to fulfill their dreams.

They packed their things,

Yet sobbering.

What awaits them in the land of dreams?



Holding their tickets,

A ticket that will make their dreams a reality.

They traveled a thousand miles,

Be able to ride the cotton clouds,

And fly like fireflies in the sky.



For a thousand winks,

A hundred yawns,

For tenths of stretches,

They now make their first step-

To achieve their lifelong dreams.




When they reached there,

Some fit in, Some didn’t

Some survived, Some died,

Some left traces,

Some just passed by.




Desolation is their foe,

Wandering in a so cold place,

Their love one's images,

And their memories

Are all they need to feat their loneliness.
