Let the Dreamers Who Sleep Beware
Lost in thoughts about what might have been 
As the opportunity of today passes by 
Regret from inactions is a mortal sin 
Paralysis from fear prevents giving it a try 
Security from harm keeps bad things away 
While also keeping experiences from getting inside 
Sometimes you should charge into the foray 
While the mundane run off to hide 
Scars may be your only reward 
Tears, like a river, may flow 
But to keep your journey moving forward 
You cannot be afraid to go 
Dreams are just realities yet to come true 
Achieved only by those who dare 
Take my hand; I’ll go there with you 
And let the dreamers who sleep beware

Hi, Joe, I agree, dreamers who activate them are what made this world. How could a so-called "dreamer" just allow them to remain dormant? To even just "write it all down" is at least something............ great poem that inspires..... S
