Dreams on Hold


She yearns for the freedom of being herself

Spending time doing the things she loves

 

Her burning desire to work for herself

And conquering her fears

 

Investing money in her dreams

But she’s afraid of failure

 

Her friend offers her a chance

To do exactly what she dreams

 

Not knowing what the future holds

She generously declines

 

Years later she loses her husband

Due to a plane crash

 

Now left with two children

To raise on her own

 

She wishes she would have

Taken the chance she was given

 

To follow her dreams
