I cannot believe I am still going with my poem a day challenge. Some days it’s been hard but I’m enjoying looking back so far and I have promised myself that no matter how dissatisfied I may be with a particular poem or verse, that I will not remove it. Whatever I have written was reflective of a moment in time. Like a photograph. I want to keep on growing every day I’m alive. I want to enjoy learning all of the time. x

Dreams

I have dreams
many things to do
my own special treasures 
I keep them to myself
like sparkling stones in my pocket
I work to realise them
take them out and look at them 
turn them in my hand
don't think about what anybody would say
just keep working 
in my own way
every day quietly striving 
following my heart
breathing life into
and keeping alive 
my dreams
