A Lot Of Work To Do

Listen to the lovers as they
Bicker, tease and pine away
For what they haven't yet achieved
In their great quest for total joy.

Dreams laid often by the wayside
Waiting patiently their turn,
Battered, shattered, beaten, broken,
Like a child's forgotten toy

Brave hearts will pick up the pieces,
Mend the break and carry on
With hope renewed and vision
Rising over that of lesser men.

Goals revised and redirected,
Spirits bolstered and renewed.
Never minding failure, finding 
Favor to begin again.

If a dream is worth pursuing,
Always keep it within view. 
If perfection is our goal,
We've got a lot of work to do.
