A dream


Everyone looks different but they all have the same dream

A dream that they have to take chances at

A dream where they might ride solo

A dream where it could be their last

 A dream where they might not be able to see their families for a very long time

 A dream where it may get hard to do

A dream where you have to be awake

 A dream that you have to realize it might have been best to stay where you where

A dream where it can turn into a nightmare at times

A dream where you don’t understand the language but make sacrifices to comprehend

A dream where your kids don’t know what life is like on the other side

A dream where you work twice as hard to make come true

A dream where every one wishes to get to the finish line

A dream that when you can go back to your home place everything has changed it isn’t the same as when you left years ago

A dream that you count the time you have spent away from your love ones

A dream that every one chases

A dream que se llama el Sueño Americano  (that is called The American dream)
