Hidden Dreams

When you were younger
you followed your dreams
to many places far and wide,
and loved it all it seems.

But now that you are older
you put your dreams on hold,
as if saving them for a rainy day,
hiding them away like gold.

Taking them from their hidden place
to dwell over once in a while,
you dust off all the cobwebs
and hug them to you with a smile.

You promise yourself again
that someday in the future,
you'll do something just for you.
This time you mean it for sure.

Then you put the dreams away again,
back in your favorite hiding place.
Tucking them safely in your memory
where no one else can find a trace.

Why do you put your dreams on hold,
when living them is what you need?
Take them out and dust them off,
it's time to let your dreams be freed.
