My Dream

Turning in the tangling labyrinth, Of my prodigal dreams , Whose bearing is not on course, My mind, becoming a whirlwind of thoughts, And in despair I asked, “how do I live my dreams?” Then, I heard within my being, A tiny voice of reason, And it says, "If you can give a morsel of bread, To the one weary of hunger, If you can quench the thirst, Of a hungry weary traveler, If you can lead a straying bird, To its cozy nest, You have lived your dream".
