DREAMS AND WISHES
by William Tozzi

The blind man dreams that he can see, the
mute that he can talk. The deaf man dreams
that he can hear, the lame that he can walk.
The young man dreams of what's to come,
in years that lie ahead. The old man dreams
of yesterday, and longs for youth, instead.
Most things we have in life are worth a lot
more than they seem. What is reality for me,
could be your wildest dream. We wish that we
were someone else, or in some other spot.
We fail to treasure what is ours, not seeing
what we've got. At times, I wish that I were
you, you might wish you were me. What are
those certain traits we have, that makes an
entity? We wish for what's beyond our reach,
sometimes beyond the earth. That which is
easy to obtain, seldom has any worth. If we
never followed a dream, or wished upon a star,
We'd miss out on the chance to be much
better than we are. So, always keep those
dreams alive, don't let them fade away. It's
possible, one of your dreams may come true
on this day.
