Broken Bones and Broken Dreams©

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.
