We spend our entire life chasing dreams <br />It’s either a man that can make us scream <br />Or the perfect diet that makes us fit and slim <br /> <br />Friends that are loyal and we hope to trust <br />Or rotten children that will be faithful to us <br /> <br />There is always something we always wanted <br />And when... we do not get what we hope for <br />It is always someone else’s fault to blame <br /> <br />But have we ever thought of just being grateful <br />For the simplest blessing that we wake up with <br /> <br />The life so precious we always almost neglect <br />To be able to breathe the tax and toll free air <br />Open our eyes in the mornings and see the sun <br /> <br />The corny music you and I can dance to <br />Or the half polluted water the desert don’t have <br />The dandelion that makes our lawn colorful <br /> <br />I would suggest forget the fame and fortune <br />Let’s forget jealousy, hatred and greed <br />Because all we really need is right here <br />Within our minds, our hearts and our souls <br /> <br />Let’s be thankful we have a life to gripe about <br /> <br />Why not wake up and say Hallelujah Life is wonderful! ! !<br /><br />Kay Barcelon<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/chasing-stars-catching-dreams/
