Dreams

sifting through the pieces

of my broken dreams

searching for parts

to salvage

looking for pieces

that I can reclaim

so many dreams

have gone up in smoke

and there are those

i've simply outgrown

some were lost

by choices i've made

now here i am

wanting a dream

building a purpose

with the foundation

i've laid

so i'm taking small pieces

from my broken dreams

creating a life

starting right here

forgiving my past

changing my ways

and on that day

when my life is done

i will quietly pass

with no regrets

and thankful

for my second chance

I have had many dreams throughout my life.  And I have had a precious few that have come true.  For those I am grateful.  Unfortunately, I have allowed far too many to disappear.  Some I have lost because life happened.  Others because I didn't fight hard enough.  Some because I did not believe in myself and my worth. 

What I do know is that I am running out of chances.  I cannot get time back.  I cannot change what has been.  But, I can change me.  I can give my dreams the respect and the fight they deserve.  So today, I am reclaiming my dreams.  Today I begin the fight to reclaim those dreams that define me.  Today I make a change.

I may fall and stumble.  But, I pray for the courage and the strength to get up and continue on.  For those who love me, I ask one thing...get the bandaids ready.  I am ready to do this.
