Power of a dream

To have a dream in your heart that you must make come true,
to think about constantly - even wake up at two
or three in the morning when everything's still,
plotting and scheming new ways to fulfill
this desire that's burning so deeply inside,
it's no wish or whim - it will not be denied.
Imagine it happening - set a picture in your mind,
your dream holds the power of how you will find
a way that will lead you to all you hold dear,
for when the student is ready the teacher will appear.
Then strive on believing your dream will come true,
be consistant, persistant in all that you do.
You'll come across hurdles - you'll stumble and fall,
somedays it will seem like your back's against the wall.
Frustrated and weary and filled with self-doubt
but a voice from within you will rise up and shout,
"You know you can do this - just stick to your schemes,
don't dwell on the obstacles - focus on your dreams."
Be self-disciplined - do whatever it takes
for the wall around success is to keep out the fakes.
Whether you make them come true or you let your dreams fade,
one thing is for certain - a price will be paid.
The choice is all yours - which one will it be?
the thrill of your victory or the agony of defeat.
