A Dreamer
We wonder what a dreamer thinks and how he sees the world around.
Does he perceive a different way is his life so profound?
Can we imagine why he finds that things are such a bore?
Does he simply refuse to accept or does he just want more.
Let's look at history and what it shared the famous people there.
Many of them were dreamers who were gifted but full of fear.
Let's look at artist Vincent Van Gough the torment he did see.
With all the wonders of his art his nightmares did not flee.
Now look at Thomas Edison a dreamer as a boy.
But look at what that dreamer did he gave us so much joy.
What would this world be like if we never had their gift.
No radio, no television, no elevator lift
Praise the educated ones, the powerful and the rich.
But without a dreamer's dream we'd be in a shallow ditch.
