Dream
My dream, it started very small,
A seed inside of me.
I thought about it every day,
And wondered what it would be.
My dream, it seemed so far away,
But still that little seed grew.
I thought about it every day,
And hoped it could come true.
My dream, it’s in front of me.
It’s a journey I must start.
I’ll work towards it every day,
To achieve what’s in my heart.
