Don't put all your dreams into one basket

 Don't put all your dreams into one basket

Scatter them so they don't get squished

One or two will survive to grow

Maybe come true; you never know

If you love someone with all your heart

All dreams die when it falls apart

So keep a few in your pocket 

for when you get love back

Your extra dreams will be there 

Sustenance for a snack.

I put all my dreams into one person

Thinking that it would last

When it came to fill in the spaces

I found my dream had passed.

Save a dream or two for when others die

There'll be something else you can do 

Don't sit around and cry depressed 

Live with a dream deferred, too

It's better than having none at best

There are seeds of hope in your life left
