Notes About The Poem

Don't Close Your Eyes

Don't close your eyes
to opportunities that bloom
like daises in your garden of dreams;
they all glitter like gold...

so seize and take advantage of them all!

Don't close your eyes
to sleep in the pitch-black darkness
because you'll stay blind
to the bright vision of tomorrow.

Keep them open, a guiding light will shine in!

Don't close your eyes.
Keep them wide open so you can 
watch your dreams flourish
and watch them bear ripe fruits.

You'll get to harvest those fruits for a lifetime!

Do not close, or blink your eyes 
for even a second, because the lens 
through which you view life 
could smudge before you

Stay awake, do not close your eyes

Keep them open to see
the beauty of life all around you
Keep them wide open to see 
the rainbow of possibilities on the horizon

Dream about the future, wide awake!
