Analysis of Hopes and Dreams



Some things happen for a reason,
Others just come with the season.
We all make choices that change our course, showers fall, spoil expectations.
But there's always a blue sky, a sunny day, after the cleansing rain, only beautiful things remain.

Hopes and dreams shape aspirations,
Your wants and needs, a necessity for forthcoming inclinations.
To cherish a desire with anticipation,
High hopes for the best that things will turn out, outstanding.

A nighttime dream brings thoughts, visions, sensations.
An extraordinary human action that occupies the mind and imagination.
But lifelong dreams motivate goals and inspire ambition;
Things that encourage your continuing elevation.
