Always Have A Dream

Forget about the day when it's been cloudy,
but don't forget your hours in the sun.
Forget about the times
you've been defeated,
but don't forget the victories
you've won.

Forget about mistakes
 that you can't change now,
but don't forget the lessons
 that you've learned.
Forget about misfortunes
you encounter,
but don't forget the times
your luck has turned.

Forget about the days
 when you've been lonely,
but don't forget the friendly smiles
 you've seen.
Forget about the plans
that didn't work out right,
but don't forget
 to always have a dream.
