The Dream
by Michelle Goodale

To want so bad you can taste it
To work so hard you feel exhausted
To talk about it so you feel you’re there
That is a dream
To walk so far
Run so hard
Just to reach that goal
To try to be the best you can
That is a dream
To enjoy and have fun
To have the desire
To make it all the way
Do all you can
And put out your hand
Now that is to attain
With dreams attained
Better yourself
In ways you only dreamed of
The process starts over again
That’s the dream.
