When Did Your Dream Stop?

When did your dream stop?

When did you think it could never happen,

When did you believe your life was not worth another day,

When did your unique talents get placed out of the way?

When did your dream stop?

The imagination of your childhood,

The things though they were out there,

Did not seem impossible or even too heavy to bear?

When did your dream stop?

Was it the words by someone close or over you,

Was it the painful experiences, trauma or abuse,

When did you think trying was no longer of any use?

When did your dream stop?

Was it a moment, 

Was it slowly day by day, 

Or was it sudden when you had nothing left to say?

When did your dream stop?

Was it when you reached the pinnacle,

Of all that you had planned,

And suddenly you didn’t realize you could start again?

When did your dream stop?

Was it the diagnosis or the accident,

The shuffling of the plans,

Or the addiction that left a dent?

When did your dream stop?

Was it a failure or mistake,

The inability to forgive yourself,

Or thinking you didn’t have what it takes?

When did your dream stop?

Was it the loss of a loved one,

The bills piling up a case, 

Or that one door, closed in your face?

When did your dream stop?

How about never,

Not today, not tomorrow

Not ever!

    My dream stopped during Covid; but thanks to one day when I had the courage to reach out to a friend, I started dreaming again. Thank you for encouraging us to dream!
