Don't let your dreams stay dreams


Like when your fave song comes on
Like dancing without a care
Like when you enter a room and everyone stops to stare
Better than when you make someone smile
Like when you find your head bobbing to the beat
Better than a penny you found on the street
For this thing I would crawl a mile
Just to make it stay awhile
Better than hitting the bed after a long day
Like when someone knows exactly what you where about to say
Like sunshine on my face
Better than in Blackjack getting an ace
Like a drink that warms your insides
Better than when you succeed after all your tries
Better than this new diamond ring
You are my favorite thing

I wrote this piece because when you love someone, that love triumphs over every other of your very favorite things. I wrote this poem to also point out all the little things in life that people sometimes do not full appreciate.

I like this poem, but you probably shouldn't have tried to force the rhymes. I think it would have worked better if it had used non-rhyming stanzas or something...anyway, the concept is great, so good job.
