A better future or a specific goal?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I have always been accused of living in a “dream world”
that the world is very different from what I live in my world
that I am not opportunistic
that I am not realistic
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Yup, that’s all me!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I live in a dream world
because I believe
in the human potential
because I believe in
the nature of humans to do good,
to rally together for a just cause
to help people in need
to seek to serve
Because these are things
we get moved by,
these are the emotions
which bring out the best in us
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It’s our dreams for a better future
which propel us from
our comfortable sofa and Netflix
to the world of hard work and effort
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It’s our dream for a better future
for our children
which moves us
to go beyond the self-centred life
to the world of nurturing and
doing acts of love and kindness
for our and other children
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It’s our dream for a better future
for our community
which moves us away from
selfish lives of “I-don’t-care” to
a life of “I-do-care”
of volunteering and rallying
to improve conditions for everyone
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Dreams are where everything begins,
takes shape as a water bubble
blown by a child
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Handle them with care
for they are fragile
but potent in what they can bring out of us
