Notes About The Poem
Withered Dreams, by Suzette Richards - image generated.
Withered On the Vine
When your ambition didn’t tally with mine,
we had to learn to steer a common course.
Our earlier dreams withered on the vine
Our individual pasts were our source.
In the interest of our joint future
we had to learn to steer a common course.
If at different rates we would mature,
then allowances we must surely make
in the interest of our joint future.
To be genuinely woke or a fake,
focus only on a global career,
then allowances we must surely make.
From humanitarian course don’t veer:
for that, I am eternally grateful.
Focus only on a global career.
Resisting temptation to be spiteful
when your ambition didn’t tally with mine;
for that, I am eternally grateful.
My earlier dreams withered on the vine.
