I Have a Dream

I have a dream that someday
I will be able to feel free,
of all my cares and worries
and show just who I can be.

I have a dream that someday
I will really enjoy my life,
and learn how I can become
a better mother and loving wife.

I have a dream that someday
I will be able to face my fears,
and overcome my troubles
I have carried all these years.

I have a dream that someday
something good will head my way,
if I keep going like I have been
I will never see that day.

I have a dream that someday
I can make it on my own,
have the courage and the strength
to change without feeling so alone.

Excellent descriptiveness on feelings that we all have from time to time of insecurities, and other negative emotions. There is one who is closer than a loving brother. He is found in the "Bible" John 3:16. Keep the magical pen flowing for you are a diamond that just needs to be revealed. Thanks for stopping by and commenting on my work. Sara

Colleen dear...I am sorry that this is reality for you and I know not what has transpired but as one mother to another...write and let it all come out here. It helped me and this is my therapy my path. Trust me there are days I do not want to get out of bed and if you continue to read my work youwill see that...Good luck and this is awesome work....The Southern Belle
