Living the Dream

I've decided to start living the dream, 
maybe life wouldn’t be so difficult-
          I would wear security and high self-esteem
walking down rough roads without pain, 
where only carefree moments remain-
          my family and I make the perfect team...
a kismet of hope lives on, easy to sustain

wealth is not the treasure of a golden gem,
nor can monetary riches bestow joy;
for when difference comes, I shan’t judge them,
          embracing cultures different from mine
          can make the future of life’s stars align-
fighting the ones who choose to condemn,
          helping others to embrace dreams too ~divine~

as I write this, I realize the dream I AM living...
          and I shall fulfill my soul through love and giving
