Dare To Dream...Like Children

Little children...
playing in front of the backyard fence,
creating shadowy images of themselves,and
blending one into another,pretending
to be the other,if only for the moment,
happiness pursued in the shadow,from the light...

Dancing like envisioned stars,
celebrity and sport,enhances dream...
enhances the possible chances,of
a come true prospectus,if only
still written within the heart...

Don't we all wish...and dare to dream....
