So hurray for the dandelion
   warriors
The ones who remember
   to dream
Those who see with the
   eyes of a child
And dare to follow each
   crazy scheme.

So hurray for the cracker
   jack heroes
Those who remember
   the prize
Isnt money or cars
   or gemstones
But the light in a
   lovers eyes.

Hurray for the dreamers
   and lovers
They're the ones who make
   it worth living
With their fantasies poems
   and passions
And hearts that live
   for the giving.

Hooray! to you dear poet for writing and sharing this gem. Wonderful!

God grant me the serenity to accept the people I cannot change, the courage to change the one I can, and the wisdom to know it's me. ~Unknown

What a wonderful way to say how much the poets here mean to you...or did I miss something here.  That's what I got out of it and I love the style and flow.
