Dare to Dream

A poem I wrote many a year ago

Late at night, 'neath pale moonlight,
I lie awake and wonder
About what could be, if I dared to dream,
And my soul begins to ponder.
Am I the only one who's lonely,
Or dreams of better things?
Our hopes, our wishes, like lovers' kisses,
Are the gifts of which stars sing.
Could it be I'm meant to be
Somebody truly great?
Renowned, revered, both far and near,
Dare I hope for this fate?
The one I love has no idea of
The feelings deep in my heart.
My wish, someday, is to find a way,
And we'll no longer be apart.
Am I a fool to hold these jewels
In my heart? That cannot be.
We should, we must, instill our trust
In ourselves, and dare to dream...
