Life Is But a Dream
Is this life but a dream? I once wondered to myself, in this life Will we really find true happiness, A place to which we can escape, A place where there are no worries of the future, Where we, once again, may envision life with the naivety of a child? The life of a child Is quite a lovely dream. Sadly, as children we are often much too eager to reach the future. We’re told, ”Take it one day at a time, this life, Be sure to experience that great escape, And most importantly, without regret, always indulge in your happiness.” We seem to spend our whole lives searching for happiness. It appears to vanish from our lives the moment we cease to be a child. We attempt to find a method for which we are able to escape From the trials and stress of our mundane lives. Losing ourselves in a dream, We continue aimlessly through life, Permitting ourselves no further notions of the future. I have found that I am no longer satisfied living in a daze, I believe if I begin to live for the future, I am bound to find that unequivocal happiness. I must be honest; I, too, was never truly patient with life, Underestimating the true meaning of it all; I was, unfortunately, a frivolous child. I now see reason to abstain from placating ourselves in a fanciful dream. I’ve gleaned its best to make the most of what we’re given; for there is no real possibility of escape. So, I’ll no longer entertain the senseless musings of my grand escape, For, I am learning to be confident and complacent in my future. I’ll no longer consider the absurdities awaiting me in a fictitious dream, Because I believe I have finally found my path to true happiness. Thankfully, I am no longer a lost and ignorant child. No longer will my time dissipate with no real worth; I aim to be forever grateful and joyous in my life. There is no such thing as an eternal life, And sadly, death is the only reprieve we get; in the form of that previously sought after escape. However, in the wondrous eyes of a child, Life seems everlasting; there is only ever the future, And the possibilities of what it might hold; the promises full of love, laughter, and happiness, And no such thing as a broken or unrealistic dream. So, I’ll live my life forever striving towards the future, While no longer pursuing any type of escape, I’ll be thankful and welcoming of any happiness Afforded to me, and I’ll surely take time to encourage a child to make a reality of their dream.
