They said that her stories were just another lie,
that she would never fly,
higher than the expectations
set before her,
which were set so low.

They said that she would never shine brighter
than the stars in the sky.
But each day they seemed to lose a little light.

They said that her dreams
were worth nothing more
than a spec of dust.
Only to be swept away.

They said that she would
never sing
a louder melody
and become something unique

But what they didn’t know
was that a dream is the beginning of reality

secretly
deep down inside
He placed that dream.

It grew stronger
with the nourishing words spoken to it by her loving Father

Soon it grew so large that it could no longer be contained.
It had to be breathed into existence,
just as her destiny was…
because a dream is the beginning of reality.

She spoke that dream with great courage and as it soared
from her lips

She flew higher
Shone brighter
and sang louder
than ever before.
