Yes not all dreams are within reach, not all rainbows signify the end of the rain, not all clouds have silver linings, only the true realiseable dreams do come true. Some lights at the end of the tunnel are on fossil energy, ready for depletion at the lack of supply. So is MY dream, it will NEVER come true for it is far fetched. It is but a dream decades late, thus confirming not all dreams will come true.
I kept busy the whole day, worked like I was being paid. Never had a chance to sit and take a time out, now that the night has fallen I am forced to relax. I look to my right, then left, I read the papers, I switch TV channels and yet I can confirm that some dreams will stay but dreams.
The reality is facing me now, not knowing whether to seek answers in the winds that blow or the animals that sleep. In happy times I have your hand, in sad times I have your heart. I know that not all dreams come true for when the storms hit, when the sun shines, the rain falls I seek you, I need you. This open door shall remain open, for the dreams belonging there will never be realised.
My dream is one and an impossible one at that, I dream that dream that one day I would know, feel and celebrate with all fathers on this day. I do not know how to behave, but to dream the impossible that someday I would in my heart understand fathers' day. With a truck full of pebbles, I sit and pick them and select the best looking. What value is a pebble? A father would know about that object so small yet tough, I have picked one up on your behalf today. I gave it to myself and do not know what lesson to learn from this gesture, for I remember that some dreams will stay but that. The dreams you had for me will come true, The only dream I have for you will never be realised.
Whenever I look in the mirror, I am your spitting image. Whenever I am told of what a tomboy I am and take those long lazy strides, I am you with one selfish dream. I write, I draw, I sing, I ride I am you with a selfish dream, My only dream is to know how it feels like to look a father in the eye and say Happy fathers' day!!! That is one dream GOD guarantees and decreed I shall never have, I am proud of you dear father I am you. Whatever the day signifies let it be, but to me I think of you father daily with a twinkle in my eye and think if I had a mortal father I wonder what he would be saying to me at this moment.
