Dreams

I will not force a dream on my kids
to chase college or work that does not suit them
run after the things that make you smile
what forces your heart to feel worthwhile
step out of the norm
move out of the dorm
stand up for yourself
get out of your way
you can't worry about what others say
follow your heart and put yourself first
do as I say and not as I did
now is the time, the time to live
