A Million Dreams

In our grasp lie a million dreams

to nurture, sort—explore;

treat them as panes of sugar glass

our love as a sugar castle

beautiful and intricate.

~

Some dreams shatter

and when they do

we'll guard our entwined souls

from debris in our midst.

 ~

Of the million dreams

and love

one is vital to our survival—

 ~

Let us protect our sugar castle

from shattered sugar glass

with fierce faithfulness and devotion,

gentleness and understanding

as we evolve through the years.
