Dream or hope
Take one or the other
Life gave me a choice
I begged for both
Life winked
Someone had said
Dreams die first
I reasoned
Like a phoenix
Dreams come back
From a thousand death
Woke up
Dream was gone
Hope is there
Keeping me company
Ready to face
A new day
And what life
May throw at me
Dreams die first by Harold Robbins ( 1977 )
Not even the dead will be safe from the enemy, if he is victorious. And this enemy has not ceased to be victorious.- Walter Benjamin

Thanks for the comment.
I think there is a very thin line between dream and hope. Dreams die but hope is everlasting. I have not given up hope but became more pragmatic with passage of time. Now I try to enjoy whatever life brings on.
