Fragile Dreams

Images of broken dreams~
   scattered along the pavement; 
          Shall I pick them one by one, 
or simply walk barefooted over them?

Congratulations. Very moving....the thought of letting your feet be hurt by broken shards because you simply don’t care anymore. Did I read the intent right? Happy Birthday. SuZ

Those broken dreams are sometimes sad and sometimes happy if we really think about our lives and which way it could have gone if our dreams had come true. Congrats. Sara
