Notes About The Poem

Watering the Garden of Dreams

Our garden of dreams
     is a fertile one-
with roots buried deep
     in heart, soul, and mind.
They're nurtured beneath
     our hopeful sun rays-
but oft wither on 
     dry paths to our goal.

They must be kept watered-
     moistened with life
by streams of commitment
     that bolster growth;
then splashed with the flow
     of fervor makes lush
those dreams that mature-
     fulfilling our vows.
