Broken Bones
and Broken Dreams
How
shattered both of them seem
One day you
are whole and the next you are not
You need to
take stock of the things you have got.
Bones can be
mended with a time they will heal
Dreams can
be changed for they are not real
Believe in
yourself you will always be told
Bones can be
mended but dreams will grow old.
Bones once
broken can be set and made new
Dreams can
be dreamt for a time or two
Dreams are
the things you keep inside
They keep
you strong with a will to survive.
Once you
were young and your dreams were so real
Now you are
older and your dreams you conceal
For you
didn’t take the time to make your wishes known
Now your
dreams are within and will remain all your own.
Bones are
like Dreams they shatter if not careful
Bones once
broken make you hurt and tearful
So what is
the difference between broken bones and dreams?
One is real
and one not what it seems.
