For the Dreamer

This poem is for the dreamers, for those who once dreamed long ago and for those who still cling to their dreams. Doubters will appear in your life, trying to convince you to stop and pursue something lucrative, occupations and hobbies with monetary value, but rarely ever will these things completely fulfill the crave to dream. Indeed, many times we must resort to a boring desk job in order to pay the bills, but never completely sacrifice the things you truly enjoy; doing so leads to a life wrought with unhappiness and dissatisfaction. I believe that God gifts us with unique talents and dreams, and He allows us to uncover joy in them because He revels in seeing His children enjoying the life and skills He intended for us when He created us. He delights in you, and the ability to use your gifts, to dream, is a treasure we should never forget. When you doubt yourself, or when doubters try to deter you from achieving your dreams and goals, remember this, and never give up.

For the Dreamer:

They call us dreamers

Never achievers

Always the loners

Our heads in the clouds

We are the workers

Sometimes the fighters

Often the mothers

With jobs to be done

We are the scholars

Also the watchers

Seeking the learners

With noses in books

But schedules scattered

And frivolous chatter

Destroy what matters

Thus ends the dreamer

The would-be dancer

Is someone’s daughter

The wishful singer

Is another’s son

Artist or author

Dancer or singer

Teacher or lawyer

Were, long past, their dreams

Racer or ranger

Soldier or scholar

These things we all were

Once, a time ago

Wake up, oh dreamer

Become the achiever

Unite our brothers

And silence your doubts
