If Your Dreams Poem by S.W. Clark

If your dreams were your life,
would you fear no tomorrows?
Would you wash away hate
and melt away sorrows?
Would you ride on the wind
in a midnight cart,
touching the lonely
and sharing their heart?
Would you love all the babes
whose parents don't care,
and build a large castle
and let them live there.
Would you fill it with hope,
dignity and fun?
So the babes could learn love
and faith and to be as one?
Would you fill the hungry, make rich the poor?
And when the needy came to you
would you give them more?
Would you heal all sick; make strong the weary
and those in pain, make life more cheery?
If your dreams were your life,

If it only were,
but no.

But to some it is that their life
is so,

They have the wealth to pay the dues,
They have the health to bring good news,
They have the heart to cure the sorrows,
And have the words to brighten tomorrow.

If it is not that your sick, lonely or poor,
you need to be one with a dream,
who in Life will give more.
