Hopes and Dreams

i keep my hopes and dreams

inside a paper sack

i pull them out when i feel the need

the ones that are stale i put them back

those i take down to the shore

and toss them in the sea

the fresh ones like i said i keep

and take them home with me

to pull out when i feel the need

How enchanting and endearing your beautiful verses of your hopes and dreams are, Mike. I so enjoyed the charming and enlivening imagery of sorting through hopes and dreams and tossing what is stale and keeping those still fresh. An awesome poem. Warmest wishes.. ~Susan
