She dreamt she was an athlete coach,
and gaining cups galore;
then woke up to her daily grind
and yet another chore.
 
He dreamt himself  the manager,
with salary well-paid;
and then he woke to face his boss
whose whims must be obeyed.
 
She dreamt of working as a vet
in farms and jungles wild;
but woke to face the study hard
while caring for her child.
 
But one night all the dreams were changed –
their heroes troubles found
without the little pleasures, joys
of the dreamers’ daily round.

"...whose whims must be obeyed."

 

The reality for many. There's a great rhythm and rhyme to this, Rhiannon. It bounces along and is a lovely read. Nicely done. Paul

There's nothing like dreams to lift your spirit, we all have them, but would we really want those dreams to come true. indecision

Thank you, Jenny. that is what I wanted to convey, we can enjoy dreams, but contentment  and appreciation of the small joys in what we have can be upliftting. Rhiannon

The sparkle of the rhythm of your poem brings to life the subjects of the dreams.

Dreams are vital to life. I spend most of my waking hours dreaming.

I enjoyed reading this.
