Once small dreams, medium, and then large
I opened my mind and began to take charge
Yes there was a time when I could not see
Past my fears in life or unfold my destiny
It never quite registered in my unique head
Earth is the land of the living, not the dead
Although we sometimes walk silently and alone
In this extraordinary place we call home
Fear used to be my enemy, but not anymore
I have learned to replace the fear with love
Everything imagined or dreamed in my life
Fear took control and kept me under the knife
Now, I look back and see all the incomplete dreams
But I also look back and see all the completed things
And, I say to myself
Some day, some how, I will stand
And, I will bow
Live your dreams.
