A Promise
A Promise
Trying hard to just stay focused
on the road that lies ahead.
Keeping mindful of importance
of words written in red.
Still times I see me stumble
times I see me fall.
Trying not to miss a thing
trying to see it all.
But this one thing I always do
when my dreams are caving in.
Dry my eyes I start to rise
and begin to dream again.
For mountains they are plenty
and often so much taller.
Or maybe it's just me
and my vision's growing smaller.
Each day that I live I see
deeper into this storm I'm hurled.
Maybe just by helping one
I still can change the world.
My life just one big lesson
and the lesson it must teach.
Is sometimes of the dreams we dream
some dreams are out of reach.
Still I keep on dreaming
heart set on things ahead.
Clinging to a promise
and words written in red.
