I won't need to dream anymore
February 14, 2011
When i was younger
I used to dream
Dream of big things
Bigger than what i could be
When i was younger
I used to believe
Believe in what i couldn't see
Believing in what i could be
When i am older
I will dream
Dream of the stars in the sky
Dream of the greek Gods
When i am older
I will believe
Believe in the power of love
Believe in the gift of life
When i am old
I won't dream
I won't believe
I will see
what my life has been
i won't need to dream
i won't need to wish
everything i wished for
will have come true
i will have lived a life
full of dreaming and believing
i won't need to dream anymore

that was amazing:) i absolutely love it and am adding it to my favorites right now:) It was beautiful.....great job:)
Awesome! And mentioning the Greek gods was beyond great, im a lover of Greek mythology. It was good hwow you went from child to adult, but in my opinion, even as an adult with everything you wanted as a child, you would still need to dream. otherwise you could go stagnant for want of nothing. at least, this is what i believe. Great job though!

This is so optimistic! My poetry always seems to take the grim road of life, but this one is filled with hope.

Haha yes that is exactly what got me really into it. and i can see why you would want that. Every dream fulfilled would be...beyond great.
