#WednesdayVerses : Reach for the sky

reach for the sky

I know that one day,
I’ll reach for the sky.
I know that it is a long way,
Yet I will try!

 

My dreams guide me on,
When my struggles bring me down.
But like the darkness before dawn,
With rays of the sun, it will be gone.

 

Problems and setbacks will come my way,
But I believe that I’ve the strength to face them all.
My demons I will slay,
I’ll get up each time I fall.

 

I get closer to my goal each day,
And one day my dreams will all be true.
I will reach for the sky,
When to my inhibitions, I’ll bid adieu.
