If I dream it,
it is my dream.
My reality created,
my truth related,
my hope that lights
some future world,
as yet unseen.
And if I will it,
It is not a dream.

Ida,

the last two lines are true.  That's all I'll say on the subject.

Thank you all for your comments. Sometimes I have to write what I am really thinking.
I can't always write about ordinary, everyday things because my mind tends to explore many avenues.

I guess I have grown up on "whether or not you think you can, you're right" so this one fits well into that philosophy

Marchmadness What a beautiful way to express such a positive philosophy.  Everything begins with a dream.

Thank you all so much for your lovely comments. I wear a little gold disk around my neck that says "If I will it, It is not a dream. I wrote this poem around that saying.
