When dreams die ~ Where do they go?
When they are gone ~ Noticing is slow,
Where is the promise ~ Where is the hope?
Exactly where was the slippery slope?
With youth came life ~ With life came dreams,
Each day was exciting ~ For idealistic teens,
First there was college ~ More parties than not,
The future a plan ~ Education was bought,
Not always learned ~ Until it’s to late,
College is over ~ And living’s a state,
For those who studied ~ Made it to class,
Who turned down the beer ~ The lad or the lass,
Who went on to be ~ Who ever they are,
Did they find their dream ~ Did they go that far?
Or are they as lost ~ As the dreamers became?
Who took a wrong road ~ While searching in vain,
Did they really know ~ Who they wanted to be,
Are they truly happy ~ With their degree?
How does a teen ~ Whether a lad or a lass,
Know the roads to take ~ The roads to pass?
Are they happy with the roads they chose,
Or are they as lost ~ As the dreamers and prose?
Could one have to much ~ The other not enough,
Does it really come down ~ To the essence of stuff?
Dreams were stepping stones ~ Not a path to the end,
For the student ~ The dreamer ~ Long ago friends.

I like to think that education opens more roads, more choices. But that doesn't mean the right road is so easy to find.
Thought provoking write! |
