DREAM

its about a boy... and his strong will to dream

There was once a boy

Who dreamt a lot,

His dreams varied from

Being a pilot, to buying a plot

 

His thought flew like time,

But alas! He was mime

 

The betrayal of his voice 

Didn't bother him,

He wrote what he thought

Even when the light was dim

 

He stared at the stars

And dreamt

How, it would be to 

Live so far

 

Many of his dreams never

came true,

But the boy's dreams

always brew

 

One day his loving father 

Could bare no long

He said "my son,

Why do you dream so wrong."

 

“Beware” he said, "dreams lead you

To nowhere but despair"

 

The father said this and

Walked away

Leaving the boy's mind

To sway

 

So he took a paper

And a pen,

And wrote this then

 

“Be aware father

Dreams are not to despair

They are to inspire,

What would man be today

If he never had a dream.

 

Dreams may make us scream with joy

Or weep with sorrow,

But that is what dreams are all about To make

us feel Whole or hollow

 

Dream is what made man

To think

And preserve his thought

In ink

 

Dreams may never come true,

But still, they should always brew

 

So father I shall dream

until my last breath,

Because when u stop to dream

It's time to welcome death”

The message is a good one. I like the fact that the son had his own opinion and expressed it in the way he did. There are lines that could be shorter and some rhymes seemed forced but it's still a good poem with a good message.
