Dreams be dreams

Never tell me dreams aren't worth having,

don't tell me everything will be all but lost.

Then I will tell you that nothing's out of reach,

nothing is more worth fighting for, nor too high a cost.

 

Dreams give hope, and hope is the wind in our sails,

it's the one thing we need to reach that pot of gold.

And just because the wind is blowing in someone else's sails,

doesn't mean your destination is all but sold.

 

Because a dream is really a destination, and yours alone,

but that particular destination is often far away.

But just because there are high peaks and ferocious streams to cross,

doesn't mean you won't get there someday.

 

For at times it might seem completely hopeless,

and you may find it hard just to believe.

But then it will be comforting to remember,

that dreams aren't worth as much if they're easy to achieve.

 

Remember, there's nothing stronger than the power of will,

it will guide you through every journey on which you embark.

It will give you strength to face your deepest fears,

and it will light up your way through the dark.

 

So never tell me dreams aren't worth having,

for nothing is ever as hopeless as it seems.

Whatever in this life you'll ever choose to do,

promise me this: never let your dreams just be dreams.

Oh lovely in everything,I always loved dreamers..
Never tell me not to dream,never tell me they are worth nothing
Everything could be in your hands,everything is worth fighting for
Dreams are hopes,Hopes are the wind to our sails,to get that gold
If the wind is blowing in another sail ,I will be glad,for one day it will blow in mine
My destination is never sold,I am going where I am going,nothing stopping me now
My dreams are precious even the farther away they are..I know i will get there somehow,someday
Nothing stronger than the power of will,will give you strength through your deepest fears,will light your way
Nothing is without hope ,life is nothing without dreams..I will always dream all through my life..

I like the meaning behind this poem, it's very touching and and well... meaningful, xD.

But I think you kind of force the rhyming schemes just a bit, and it kind of sounds more like a monologue, I don't really see the flow rhyming usually gives poems, maybe it's because the syllable count always varies by a lot.

Thanks for entering the contest!!! I really appreciate it, xD.

This is exactly exactly what I needed my friend, Thank you.

I'am conflicted in following my dreams, but let these streams be crossed.

Very well done, and thank you again.
