The Young Dreamer

The Young Dreamer Virtual features, situations and events Some full of happiness and others full of sadness Without understanding ourselves we become involved Only to wake up and realize it was unreal As little kids we have visions Dreams and imaginations to make us great To grow up, succeed and achieve all we can To make a great change and conquer the world But here we are how many made it? To the young ones visions are reality As time goes on we fill them with discouragements We expose them to the ‘ impossible’ attitude of life Showing them how we were there and never made it As we ask them; what difference will you make from us? Doctors, pilots and great men in the society we have killed By discouraging them and shutting them off before they hatch If only we supported them, a different world we will be having Let’s get them, embrace them, listen and encourage them Assist them in avoiding pitfalls we fell into And finally after they make it aren’t us the ones to enjoy the world?
