Dreams Still Alive

It has taken too long- Still I’m a mile back But then - didn’t see myself this far It must mean I’m heading somewhere One step at a time is all I’ll take- For if I’m not broken It must mean I can still build One day at a time is all I’ll live For if I breathe now- It must mean I can be who I should be ‘Giving up’, you argue- That all I have to show for all these years- Are the wrinkles visible on my face You say you’re almost quite sure- My defense will soon bow down Giving you your long awaited chance But my dreams are still alive My heart still enduring My bones still strong And my mind still going If my will wasn’t broken then- It means it is only stronger now And it doesn’t matter how many wrinkles more form How many years more to beat that mile- Life is a journey; Where dreams and success are accomplished Not through magic wands but through perseverance So one day at a time I will build realities out of my dreams One step at a time I will alight at my destination ©GraceM Composition
