Dream of Your Future
January 24, 2026
By Rose Marie Rideout
Dream of your future, there's no end,
What is it that you expect by then?
Do you plan to trave,l to places to see,
In your mind is it truly meant to be?
Don't let the years just pass you by,
With dreams gone by, as you cry.
You may be a senior, that's just an age,
Don't keep yourself locked in a cage.
Dream of your future, while you're young,
So fill your dreams, have some fun.
Though some days seem dark and gray,
Don't let that get in your way.
Dream of your future, they can come true ,
Just dream today, of all you'd like to see and do.
All those things you'd love to do and see,
Only you can make your dreams become a reality.
Life is way too short, for you to deny,
All those things you would love to try.
Dream of your future, it can all come true ,
The dreams of your future, dreamt by only you.
Don't let the years just disappear over night,
Make dreams come true , while the time is right.
Tomorroww we all know, may never come around,
You'll never know what you've missed, now time is gone.
I dream small these days. Mostly, stories that I can write quickly, and get published if I want to. I no longer dream about traveling all over the world. I do that vicariously by watching shows like Pole to Pole with Will Smith. Getting to see parts of the planet that would cost me too much money to get to and then be very difficult as a quadriplegic to fully experience.
