Dreams

Dreams take being beyond the ordinary routine of life  
to a joyful journey.  Dreams are not always ends to 
mere means; they are  mighty means to exquisite 
ends. Dreams are the substance lives are made of; the  
essence of a man’s existence. Dreams are fountains of 
faith and favour, the flawless  face of a fine future! 
Dreams are the enchantments of the heart that give  
purpose to existence.  Dreams are the passionate 
paths away from the pains  of our past; they are the 
present pictures of powerful  prospects To follow ones 
dreams is to reach into the depths of  the soul and to 
know oneself, truthfully, and to back away from one's 
dream is to rent the  radiance of a rainbow while the 
rain pours; So be true to your dreams and delve into 
the depths  of your soul; seek to discern decisively 
with delight. Stay strong and never sway, savour the 
sweet sight  and sounds of that silent stream...your 
dream. Let hope begin and imagination flow, embark on 
a  superb fantasy that leads to reality.  Let your 
dreams be your delight and direction to your dazzling 
destination in life. ©  May 3 , 2011 Adeleke Adeite and
