I am

I am 

a lover and a dreamer.

I wonder just how much I have in me
to give to the world

I hear laughter in the rain

I see a shining brilliance in every hand

offered to another

I want to find a peacefulness for which

I don’t yet know how to look

I am a lover 
(and a dreamer).

I pretend I am not made of glass when 

I feel like I may shatter

I feel the pulse of the earth under my feet

And I touch the heartbreaking blue limits of the sky

I worry that love can’t be enough 

to solve all the problems in this world

I cry knowing there are children going to sleep tonight 

without hope

I am (a lover and) a 
dreamer.

I understand we are all here for a reason, and

I say that those reasons are defined 

by the shining truths in 

us

I dream the dreams I dreamt as a child, and

I try to remember those dreams mean 

EVERYTHING

I hope this isn’t all in vain

I am a lover and a dreamer.
