Analysis of A dream?



Why, many months full of sorrow,
And only, a few days, for the fun,
Why this tough life of mine, always
Comes back to square one,
I just want to sit down, and relax
But life says, you have got to run
It is hot and I am looking for shadow,
But Inside I know, I will not get one,
Got to go alone, on this uneven way,
This is my destiny, as they always say
 I am tired, with this very heavy load,
My legs are shaking on this lonely road,
Sun is going to set and here comes night,
But a little far away, I can see some light,
Do not give up, now, says my soul and heart,
Finally, a noble man put me in his horse-cart,
So when I saw an inn, I thanked this kind mate,
He smiled, said, have faith always, God is great!!
