Poem
Out on the land of the Red Fox Farm About 3 miles down, past the barn There’s a girl sporting overalls and a ponytail She’s headed to dream on her favorite hay bale Climbing up on it ready to relax and lay back With nothing around but a pond and an old shack She’ll gaze at the clouds as she wonders and dreams Listening to the wind and the trickling streams Possibilities are endless, She can be whatever she chooses In her mind no matter what she does, she never loses Basketball Star, Astronaut, Fire Fighter, The President Hopes are big, her will even bigger, this is evident There’s wealth in money, wealth in self worth Help other people, be a do-gooder on this earth End starvation, poverty, make World peace a reality Be an artist, a poet, make music her specialty These are the dreams of one little girl with determination she could change the world She knew what to do to keep her dreams in sight Stay in school, nothing good comes with out a fight Work hard and be dedicated to what ever she may do The way to succeed is to make education your glue Now skip ahead and would you believe That same little girl gave up, it’s hard to conceive She had such promise, so much potential I tell you this much what happened was incidental Cause and effect, it happened like a ripple Quit her dream and school, started drugs, it’s simple Started to believe what all the people said That it was too late she already made her bed Those were the dreams , the dreams I once had I know it’s hard to hear, but for me don’t be sad I’ve learnt my lessons, I’ll make my own second chance Don’t give up, make your own truth, and fear, don’t give a second glance
