Be It Big
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
Be it big.
Or it small.
Thought to be impossible.
Yet not gone ignored!
A dream to have it wanted.
Will not leave one's mind at all!
No rest to get.
Or food to eat.
A dreamer with a wish will not sleep.
Day in and night out,
That dream to want remains.
Staying the same.
Be it big.
Or it small.
Kept in one's mind,
After walking into walls.
Won't change that dream.
Even If one has been knocked,
Unconscious!
Be it too big to wish.
Or small to want.
One with a dream to get it,
Will flaunt.
And...
Can become obnoxious to annoy,
Those accepting what's impossible...
Told too foolish.
No one in their right mind would dream!
