Short Doers Poems

Of Dreamers and Doers

Sometimes we dream
  Sometimes we do
Which one's for you?

President Jimmy Carter
  Made speech after speech
Do you recall one word he said?
  Just who did he reach?

Then he left office
  Picked up a shovel
Built homes for the poor
  Replaced huts and hovels

Jimmy Carter made speeches
  Mere promises, 'preaches'
Then he built homes for the poor
  Changed folks' lives; that's for sure

Sometimes we dream
  Sometimes we do
Which one's for you?
