Dreams come true

For years I have been dreaming his dreams,

Dreams that were never mine but became part of my life,

I adjusted and readjusted my personal goals, career goals, family goals, life goals,

Goals that were never his but became part of my life.

I dreamt of a new life every time things changed, 

I hoped for the best every time he progressed,

I became just a drop of water in the ocean that he is trying to cross,

I forgot that my dreams just flew by as I held to his while swimming across.

As night falls and everyone sleeps,

I stay awake at night, 

A night of serenity and fantasy, 

It's only me and my time, 

A time of contemplation and clarity,

As night falls and everyone sleeps,

It is clear to me that I cannot quit, 

I cannot quit my passion and dreams,

So I let myself fall asleep,

As it is time to dream,

And welcome a new morning and new beginnings.

For years my dreams have not been essential,

Not been acknowleged for my true potential,

It's time I give credit where credit is due,

Its time I make my dreams come true.
