Hold Fast Your Dreams
By Louise Driscoll


 Hold Fast your dreams ...
Within your heart ~
Keep one, still secret spot ...
Where dreams may go ~
And sheltered grow ...
Where doubt and fear are not.
O, keep a place apart...
Within your heart ~
For little dreams to go!

Think still of lovely things that are not true ...
Let wish and magic work at will in you ~
Be sometimes blind to sorrow. Make believe!
Forget the calm that lies
In disillusioned eyes.
Though we all know that we must die ...
Yet you and I ~
May walk like gods and be...
Even now at home in immortality.

We see so many ugly things ...
Deceits and wrongs and quarrellings ~
We know, alas! We know ...
How quickly fade
The color in the west ...
The bloom upon the flower ~
The bloom upon the breast ...
And youth's blind hour.
Yet keep within your heart ...
A place apart ~
Where little dreams may go ...
May thrive and grow ~
Hold fast--hold fast your dreams.
