Written to the prompt
C.S. Lewis reminds us that we are never too old to set another goal or dream a new dream. Yet age offers a companion that youth seldom values: discernment. A dream is not judged by its size alone, but by its fit. Wisdom lies not merely in dreaming, but in knowing which dreams deserve a place in our waking hours. A dreamer dreaming a dream must dream a dream that can become reality.
Dream, for dreams are worth the dream,
Yet dream the dream that fits the dream,
Not every dream is yours to dream.
Aim, but after knowing the archer well,
Target, only what is worth the target,
Not every arrow will find its mark.
Love, but weigh the love you love,
Want, but test the want you want,
Desire alone should not guide.
Spend, if spending serves the plan,
Invest, but learn before you invest,
Gold has buried many a dream.
Dream, for dreams renew the soul,
Yet dream with prudence at your side,
Dream those dreams that are part of soul.
