Don't Quit Your Daydream
When daydreams surface, most are put aside-
stored as those momentary whims of mind,
that takes us on a magical short ride-
to soon dismiss as joys we will not find.
So far from our imaginary scenes-
the life we lead we know as tried and true;
to deviate from comfort surely means
that doubt and stress in changes will accrue.
But daydreams rise from deep inside our hearts
as inner goals that serve as mental bait
for fearless selves to catch as future charts
directing us to daydreams' waiting gate.
Don't quit your daydream as a foolish goal-
for it could be the joy that makes you whole.
