To Follow A Dream Poem by Francis Duggan

Though we are like the Autumn leaves on the fast flowing stream
We all need in our lives for to follow a dream
A dream that many may never realize
For to keep despair at bay and hope on the rise
Yes we all need a dream in life to pursue
Though for many their dream may never come true
Something to cling to as hope seems to fade
It is out of dreams that history has been made
Even in the poorest area of the town
People have their dreams of wealth and renown
Those without a dream do fade to despair
Like fish out of water that struggle for air
We are like the deciduous leaves of the Fall
That flow in the waterway obeying Nature's call.
