Birth of a Dream
By Don Iannone

Dreams born in the union of mother and father,
forever the child is a part of their imagination,
Loving whispers moving through time,
the child personifies his own dream as life,
Birth and death are the same thing,
simply gates we pass through on our way
to new fragile beginnings and endings,
With birth, our expectation of life begins,
and with death, that expectation gives way to new beginnings.
