Aly Bahr Poet Rhyme

Reaching For The stars

When I was young
I wondered why
I couldn't reach up
And touch the sky

I thought I only 
Had to grow tall
Couldn't reach it
'cause I was too small

But then I grew up
And came to understand
The sky wasn't something 
You could touch with your hand

My longing to touch
The stars diminished
And I felt my dream
Was truly finished

But now I find
Since I've grown old
My dreams have changed
No longer raw and bold

The longing wasn't wrong
It was something true
On a different plane
It's what I needed to do

Don't lose your dreams
Whatever they be
I'll tell you a secret
Between you and me

Every dream is needed
To lead to the true
Place in your life
To be truly you
