My Dream

My years are getting older, and my wisdom continues to grow.

There are dreams that I now wish for, to complete before I get old.

Not by a genie but on my own;

Are four wishes in my heart that I hope to come true.

1. To speak power into the young,

Fill their minds with knowledge worth more than gold.

Re-spark the flame that once designated in their eyes

That once kept a smile—so unmovable—on their face,

Before their innocence was erased and their smiles were left defaced.

2. To understand that the rate at which the pages are turned are in my control.

I want to leave regret behind, rather than carry it into tomorrow.

I will be sure to burn the phrases "too late" away except when the word "never" is put into play.

3. To elevate my mind far beyond this earth so that I will know my truth rather than be told it.

I wish to be the voice of reason in a crowded room.

To obtain the kind of knowledge that could touch the sun,

So maybe I could one day teach my son, that wisdom that can't be taught.

4. To be the light that illuminates the darkest tunnels.

I want to be the Sheppard to the sheep, the eyes to the blind and the strength for the weak.

I will show the quitters that the race has yet to end,

Rather--it has just begun.

So as you can see, I have dreams turning into reality,

And have made promises, too deep

But too deep doesn't mean impossible.

And in that case,

On your mark,

Get set,

Go.
