“You are never too old to set another goal
or to dream a new dream" - C. S. Lewis,
to set a trail towards a target
of new possibilities previously set
to plant its balloon at various spots
each having arrived at a few stops
say it is not too late into thinking
to chase new dreams prevailing
to achieve new forms of wisdom
at the age of an older person
reaching out dreams along the way
to throw some light at end of day
to resolve life's mood in good form
of responses with good returns
“set another goal … dream a new dream”
As you say – it seems these things are vital to us, but we've got things wildly out of balance.
ReplyDelete" ... to throw some light at end of day/to resolve life's mood in good form ... " are wise words to live and also dream by. :)
