Remember those Dreams Late teenage Dreams Of Love and Romance Future career and Prominence? Cellophane dreams they were Mighty dreams for year to year Clear as heck to fill our wants For happiness and regular jaunts Education and Training Examinations and Partying Earnings and Payments Left us in Laments Our clear romantic dreams Blurred With many sampled now Preferred Responsibilities and Love not so Simples Our cellophane filled with darkened Dimples

I had some dreams alright, but not when I was a teenager. I lived for the day, the hell with tomorrow. In my early adulthood, I had some dreams, which were dashed and torn asunder by the hell I was living. I'm old now, the only dream I have is will I awake for tomorrow
