Making Adjustments
Goals never sleep; dreams never die.
Though youth may set their goals sky-high,
then find some vows are hard to keep,
dreams never die; goals never sleep.
Needs pass desires along the way,
with work to do and bills to pay.
Much perseverance life requires.
Along the way, needs pass desires.
The wise will make a compromise;
those lofty dreams, they will revise—
not bury, so their hearts won’t break.
A compromise, the wise will make.
