"Dont be afraid to dream"
  by Jez


I am always amazed at how strong kids can be
I am spun out at how resilient they can be
I am scared though that there is so much happening
There is so much terror and harm in some of their lives
That they dont know how to look past today

Some of these kids are forgetting how to dream
They are forgetting that there is always something better than today
I understand that life is hard and that sometimes you need to live for the now

But dreaming gives us something to aim for
Something to take away from reality
Something to make our lives more eventful

So my message to you is one from James Dean

Dream as if you are going to live forever
Live each day as it is your last

Please guys make the most of what you have
Dream like you have never dreamt before

Wow i agree all the way. Dreams play a big part in our lives. Everyone has to have something to aim for. I'm feeling this truth speaking poem. Nice write.

I am loving the message in this write. Kids are very much resilient, but too much can kill even a child's ability to dream. I think that's happening a lot more nowadays, and I don't see it brought to light in poetry very often. I'm loving those little pearls of wisdom. Dream big - hell, why not?? LOL

Good write! I think kids dreams are blinded by what they see on TV. Nice cars big houses and when they do dream that's what they dream about having, but they never dream about how to get all those nice things and on top of that most children don't read books as often as they should. This is a very good write keep em commin'.
