The Price of a Dream

What would it cost
 to follow your dreams
when nothing seems to go well
 and difficulties hold you back?

Would you give it up
 forgetting all it meant
and lock it in the box of past regrets?

Should it resurface
 at some future date
when prospects change and seem more promising
 would you take a chance to seek it again?

Could you put it aside
 if it doesn't seem achievable
or would it prey upon your mind and heart?

What is the price of a dream?
 Deep in your heart, it waits,
wanting, needing your input
 What is the price of your dream?
