"I am that Boy With a Dream"


 

I am that boy with a dream.

I wonder why people hurt others.

I hear strangers devise all kinds of traps and plans to destroy one another.

I see all the dangers life carries to and fro.

I want to change all of this and reconstruct the bitter pieces of life.

I am that boy with a dream.

 

I pretend everything goes well when nothing else seems better.

I feel the strong emotions and desires of the unknown.

I touch the sick and the homeless with arms of protection.

I worry about what life holds for me in the future.

I cry for the ones I love.

I am that boy with a dream.

 

I understand that life isn’t fair and I can’t control it.

I say that if we learn how to stop being so negative our lives will be so much easier.

I dream that I will make a difference in the way we lead our lives.

I hope I can change the world for the better not the worst.

I am that boy with a dream.
