Up high in the sky     
Just like a flare
I never felt freer
Not a worry or care

I flew above buildings
And houses and parks
I flew over oceans
With dozens of sharks

I was finally a pilot
And boy was I proud
I waved to the sun
As I flew through a cloud

“Ava get up!”
Mom yelled from the hall
But I didn’t want to
Not really at all

But got up I did
With a pout on my face
And slowly but surely
I tied my shoelace

“Why so gloomy today?”
Mom asked as I wept
“Cause I had a great dream
And wish I’d overslept.”

“Silly Ava” she said
As she put down her tea
Hugging me tightly
She then said to me

“Dreams do not stop
Just because you’re awake,
In daydreams especially
You want to partake.

For daydreams are visions
And visions are goals,
And for goals you work hard
With your heart and soul.

And one day you’ll see
That your dreams came true,
Because you never gave up
Whatever life threw.”
