We don't give up on our dreams--By Blessed Ayeyame--Nigeria

We don't give up on our dreams

I know of dreams walking

side by side with flames,

from the morning of their conception

striving hard to build homes

for healing of sick needs 

to turn mountains of pain.

I know of boys burrowing into

the deepness of their dreams

to unearth streams of hope

for their drooping hearts.

I know a man in his twilight

who has waited fruitlessly for

a spark at the opposite end of

a long dark tunnel, and his

hopes turned into mournful tales;

but when we hear him say:

'dreams are not meant for us'

we fold our thoughts into flames,

into a heavy fist of stubbornness, saying

'we don't give-up on our dreams'.
