Dream Ahead

Dream ahead,
Realist,
And wait for the coming dawn.

Already the moon fades,
And uncertainty's veil lifts.

Dream ahead,
In youth and age,
Toward the oasis,
Beyond the swamp.

Ahead are the laughs life owes you,
Ahead depression's debts will be paid,
Ahead lays harmony and good health.

So dream ahead and not behind,
Because the past is dead and oft unkind,
Dream ahead til the end of time.
