FOLLOW YOUR DREAMS

    If while pursuing distant dreams
    Your bright hopes turn to gray,
    Don't wait for reassuring words
    Or hands to lead the way.

    For seldom will you find a soul
    With dreams the same as yours.
    Not often will another help you
    Pass through untried doors.

    If inner forces urge you on
    To take a course unknown,
    Be ready to go all the way,
    Yes, all the way alone.

    That's not to say you shouldn't draw
    From lessons of the best;
    Just don't depend on lauding words
    To spur you on your quest.

     Find confidence within your heart
    And let it be your guide.
    Strive ever harder toward your dreams
    And they won't be denied.

                        -- Bruce B. Wilmer
