Only A Dream
When I was a little girl
You took me to the mountains
We wished upon the evening star
And threw pennies in the fountains
We watched the sun set each night
And come up in the morn
The fun still hasn’t stopped
From the moment I was born
I was your little girl,
and with a proud smile on you face
You told me that one day I would
Run the most amazing race…
And win…
And yet I stand here, over the acceptance papers
Telling me otherwise. I ran all this way
So you would be proud once again
But I stand here, with tears in my eyes
Wishing you could be by my side.
Holding me still while I cried
I worked for years, you know it's true
I never gave up, I kept pushing through
They all said to discontinue
And what did I do?
I never stopped wishing…
And I kept pushing through
I remember the look on your face
When I got an a on my test,
Or high-fives from my team
You held your head up high
Reaching the sky…
But it was only a dream
I never saw the top of the mountain
Or the stars in the sky
My penny didn’t get me into college
Yet I sit here and cry
For a dream too hard to peruse
Now what shall I do?
Capital A
