Of Dreams

Dreams are meaningful
They tap the inner resources of the soul.
They can help or hurt.
If daily one can focus on the present
Today becomes an opportunity
Things to accomplish
New vistas to be explored
Possibly a reaching out to another person.
And thus try not to dwell on the past
Misfortunes that may have occurred.
Bad luck with an endeavor,
Disappointment with a friend.
The result could be to dream in the present
For life is short at best
Not to be squandered
In reminiscences of the past.
Rather it is hoped 
That these dreams take us forward
Replete with new opportunities
And challenges to be met.
