This One Is For You

From time to time I find myself staring into the heavens lit by our stars The elders spoke of each star having its name, and how God knew the all by it At a very young age I grew much interest in adventure, to be an explorer of such Dream after dream, a huge imagination for images costed no money, dreams of much I lived by my creativity and will to be strong Not many believed in me Some of which even put me down, stateing that I was worth nothing With a shattered heart I saw the days evolve into night Patiently awaiting the sight of the first star Dropping to my knees making a wish upon the first star in view Who would know that the stars grant no wish My first language was spanish Not a single word of english or french I spoke Growing up in grade school, I was the cause of many jokes I had not much but a few rags that I kept clean as best to my ability Shoes with holes made my month None mattered because the love I searched was not of school but of my own home Always been so different A mind of a genius The will of a warrior But the love of...
