When Dreams Break Down

Anticipations

Special destinations

Dreams of work or jobs

Dream vacations

Work hard, you may

Fight, try, and also pray

The reality within

Might choose not to stay

All about your goal, you'll want to learn

Until suddenly, your interest takes a turn

Something else big, then fills your mind

At the blink of an eye, you've lost concern

As you can see, plans don't always work out

However, nothing will be gained, by starting to pout

The road to a new possibility

Should be your new route

As a door shuts, another is left ajar

New visions will be seen, from very afar

Feelings of doubt and hardship, will fill your head

But you can do it, reach for that star

  

Total Happiness 

My ultimate dream, plan, or scheme

Is to compete on a professional basketball team

But that's not all, not even half

I want to be around people I love, who make me laugh

Family and friends, are the most important part

Without them in my heart, I wouldn't know where to start

People to come home to, while knowing

They'd keep me and growing

Dreams for us, are very much a necessity 

When it comes to keeping us trying, goals are the recipe

Without our will to try hard for our dreams, and endure the suffering

Life's meaning, would add up to nothing
