To Dream 

by Anthony Wendell DeRiggs

 

To dream,

To plough within

The depth of the soul.

Unearty the joy,

The desire

To shake off the gloom.

Embrace the hope,

And Rise!

 

To dream,

To find the seed

And nurture it.

Wrap yourself,

In the garb of confidence,

And water the urge,

That will bear the fruit,

Someday.
