I, a Dreamer
Giving some thought as to why write this poem
I did stall for a while then laid hesitation aside
To gaze this mirror; see what others may see
Could be therapy in an introspective way
A badge of loyalty is worn upon this chest
Bearing a heart of gold by way of an open mind
A little impatience fuels my hands on approach
Always the optimist, as this sustains my balance
They say pretty eyes match the beautiful smile I wear
Which radiates genuinely; and is never forced
I speak with a slight accent which I'm told is cool
Blessed with a gift; I get along with most everyone
Yet, being as sweet as honey doesn't lessen my sting
Outgoing, I reach out to perfect strangers with a hand
And when there's nothing to say, I don't enjoy small talk
I believe there're no short cuts in life
I remain a dreamer and still, will forever choose this stance
To see all people as one with no distinction
Just different shadings, hues and multiple flavors
Friends enrich my life, whatever our unique circumstance
Blessings and burdens abound and everyone has his share
