Dream
Close your eyes take a deep breath.
See all your dreams before you.
What you want to be when you grow up?
A writer, a cook, a mom, a wife.
What should I be, who should I become.
My mom says be myself, my dad says be strong.
My sister says be smart, my brother says be prepared.
My dreams are there, some are hard to see.
But I know that no matter what I become my dreams are there for me.
