To Chase a Dream

There was a time when I was younger to catch a dream I’d often hunger.

Then came a day I met a girl. I became convinced she could complete my world.

Instead of a chance for her and I, she gracefully passed me by.

My heart was wounded. A mist hazed my eyes, seeing my dream being denied.

Courtships came and courtships went. Soon I discovered an angel, Heaven sent.

Together we knew we would always stay, until on a cold March evening she bravely passed away.

My heart was shattered, so many tears I could not hide; feeling our dreams crushed and denied.

Its been many years since that chilly Indiana night and I’m still trying to tell myself that everything is going to be alright.

But I know deep down in my heart if she still had her say, she’d tell me to keep chasing my dream and it’ll be okay.
