Believing Dreamers



Believing dreamers,
Are seldom heard or seen...
Publicly declaring,
Keeping them kept secretly.
Without a clue or hint,
To be asked by someone...
What it is to wish,
That convinces another...
A dream wanted to get will come true!

Believing dreamers,
Are seldom heard or seen...
Bragging to tell anyone else,
What they are doing.
For approval to receive.
Since this to do to be different done,
They know from past experiences...
It is best to show,
To those who are naysayers...
Claiming what they want,
Wished to dream hoping to come true.
Year after year.
Without effort made to endeavor a move,
Yet...

Have time to waste,
To hear them say...
One day God,
Will provide them motivation.
And initiative to deliver incentive.
To lift them up off their butts.
Like some born to be blessed,
With good luck to keep to themselves!
Done to selfishly do it.
That's why,
Nobody knows...
Where they found,
That pot of gold at the end of a rainbow!

'Do you know how stupid that sounds?
Who do you know,
That gets anything done.
Takes their time to waste,
Telling everybody what they are doing...
Before a dream they spend time to do,
Proving the impossible?'

'I never said that to you.'

'True.
But...
I remember you did say to me,
Many years ago...
I should do something else.
Besides sitting to do nothing but dream!'

'Oh that?
You misunderstood what I meant.
I said some people,
Are not as determined and motivated...
As you have proven to me you can be!'

'Oh?
And,
When?'

'Come on!
You took my criticism as negative.'

'You're right.
And I took your negativity,
As positive as I possibly could.'

'See.
If not for me providing you motivation.
Who else can claim to do that for you?
And you tell me I'm not a real friend.'

'Acquaintance!'

'Close enough.
So...
How have you been?
Still minding your own business?'

'Yep!'
