Dreamer

I fell in love with
a dreamer,many 
thought he was 
out of his mind, 
but I didn't. I be-
lieved in the man 
and his dream. 
Unfortunately he 
didn't live out his 
dream.But I passed 
on that dream men-
tality to his seed,
and now my son 
is living his dream.

Dedicated to all my fellow dreamers.

Those few lines delivered a lot of emotional impact and reality type drama wrapped in the last two lines of shining bows. WOW - this struck my wow button! Poetry hugs ... CayCay

Your love had a premonition, did not realize it was not his dream, but his son's. I like how you make this sound so natural, for I believe it is. Amazing what we pass down in DNA - maybe also our dreams!

Beautiful poem Alexis. Our children are our dreams, even before they are born. How befitting the dreamer you fell in love with, lives his dream/s through his son. What a great gift for a mother to pass onto her son. x

- Dreams are quite visual, but not usually very logical ... but, we dream our own dreams ... The mystery of dreams ... as random stories - Never stop dreaming, Alexis :) - hugs // Anne-Lise :)

Better to love a dreamer than to love one that never dreams dearest, Alexis! A witty writing my friend!

Perhaps all dreams come to fruition...perhaps not in yourself (though some might) but in someone else. I know I share poetry with my grandkids and you never know what seed that has planted. Hugs...Kim
