A Dream is not what you see when you sleep, It is something that does not let you sleep

On a silver night in the month of April,

I lay there in my baby suit by the window sil.

With a constant stare i gaze at the sky,

I stare at it till my Mama walks by,

I tell her that, that how high,

i want to go before i die.

She looks at me with a twinkle in her eye,

Says she do what you want to and one day you shall fly.

Years have passed by and still I remember those eyes so crystalline,

On the pleasure that it gave all my life i could dine.

And on this day when i look back,

Not a little sorry for all that i lack,

Because when i remember those eyes,

Courage is what i get to achieve all that i don't have,

As my friend in the long journey of life i have a lot to pave.
