We wish for love,
A relationship sealed with doves.

We wish for wealth,
But money always hurts our mental health.

We wish for fame,
But popularity only brings emotional strain.

Our dreams,
Differ from life's schemes.

Our dreams may leave,
But to stay happy we have to believe.

The author's comments:
The things people look forward to later on.(The Love, Fame, and wealth ideas) The idea with the last verse, is that certain dreams disappear... But we then look for another dream to believe in.
