Don't Quit Your Daydream

“Don’t quit your daydream” whispered the butterfly to the furry caterpillar,
“Before you know it you will have masterful wings."

“Don’t quit your daydream” said the carpenter to child with blocks on the floor,
“Before you know it you will be building magical play places, towers and houses.”

“Don’t quit your daydream” said the artist to the broken crayon on the floor,
“I will make you the star color on my coloring book page.

“Don’t quit your daydream” said the choir director to her class of edger kids.  
“You will vocalize the music that will make many happy today and evermore."

“Don’t quit your daydream” said the miner to the lumps of coal in his sack,
You have gold running in your veins that will make sparkly jewelry 

“Don’t quit your daydream” said the trucker to the boy playing with toy trucks."
“One day you will drive with the big boys on the open roads."

Don't quit your daydream no matter how impossible it may seem,
When given the proper time to grow, it can do great things.

Of course this one gets a high five. Sorry I can't see more. I just spent so much time on the other lady's book review!! Hopefully by end of this month, Miranda.

wow, your approach was SO clever. How i wish I had thought of this. If I do it at all, I will probably be sarcastic and I won't have a chance of winning. haha

Sarcasm here might work. I am not sure what is in the mind of this particular judge. I didn't really even know how to unpack this until I sat down and talked to my husband about what it could possibly mean. You have entered into constest I've had no idea what to do with the topic and or how to write in that style.

That last two lines there might get a small rework. You as well, Happy Thanksgiving.
