Our dreams may not always come true .  Sometimes the don't, sometimes they do.
One thing we need to consider is that if they come true in part, that is a step.
If a baby bird never dared to flap his wings, he would never fly.

Dreams do not always come true , you know
But, if you do not dream your wishes simply go.
Let us look at why we fail to follow our dreams.
One reason is pessimism, or so it seems.

Pessimism will cause many a mind to stall.
If you dare not dream, you have no plan at all.
There is a word for a plan to overcome this treacherous stalemate.
Optimism can help you press on before it’s too late.

If you dare to dream it may not come true , you see
However if you dare not to dream it will definitely never be.
So be courageous and dare to follow that dream.
Cling to it and work at it no matter how hopeless it may seem.

If you do not accomplish this dream, dream again.
You will learn from your failures and accept your accomplishments with a grin.
Allow yourself to follow your heart
Keep in your mind that your dreams are a start.

Just as a man who is building a house sits making a plan
Dare to dream of accomplishments greats and believe that you can.
The true failure for us all is never allowing ourselves to try.
Hence, we find ourselves hopelessly wondering why.

“Why did I never to great works,” we say.
The answer, my friend is that we let doubt get in the way.
