My Dream

It started as a wish which grew into a dream
Now it occupies the bottom of my heart
Rooted in my sub conscious:
Some may call it a "passion"
While others a "vocation"
It is easy to say I have a dream
To say I want to achieve big
But 'actions speak louder than words'
For it takes sweat and hard work
Reinforced by my determination
At times the body wants to rest
To go out and have a jolly good time
To give up walking in this narrow path
To avoid the unbearable pain that goes within
To divert the sorrows to earthly happiness
But then, I remind myself about 'my dream'
I tell myself that I have to work now
And do my future self a favour
Sometimes the mind wants to race about
To get shelter under certain thoughts
To think about the near and dear ones
To follow what others do:
Yes, I instruct myself to follow the path
That leads to my dream
The dream that will ultimately fill me with joy
My dream is to serve people
To pour happiness into the lives of many
To walk that extra mile
Which no one ever dared
And it all begins with "My Dream"
