When I Finally Wonder

I swing my legs in the air to catch the summer breeze 
I feel the wind in my hair
I don't know what I want to do with my life
But I am not in a hurry to get there
I lay my head back to breathe the fresh clean air
I want to do something important 
But do I have enough courage to care?
I keep on swinging but I never stop thinking
Will I ever make a difference?
Or when will I do it or where?
I finally stop swinging, but my head is still in the clouds
Will I be an important person?
I keep on wondering how
But for now...

I will never stop dreaming

I will never stop experiencing 

And I will never stop believing

That was a great read Carly. You're right, never stop experiencing the many facets of life, and keep on believing that you can make a difference. Dreams are often rooted in reality:) Amitiés
