I believed in a dream when I was a young boy <br />to beat all the boys in running at 11.0 seconds for fun, <br />in the middle of the empty south side streets. <br />I did it! <br /> <br />I then believed in a dream when I was in grammar school. <br />To win the break dancing contest with a head spinning move <br />and a helicopter move like a flying fool, and win a trophy. <br />I did it! <br /> <br />I then believed in a dream when I became 12 yrs old to always love many toy cars, race tracks, and later on to become a racecar driver in my own sports car and to drive 100 miles faster. <br />I did it! <br /> <br />I then dreamed in high school <br />that I would be the best on the track team for 4 yrs straight and to become MVP each year. <br />I did it! <br /> <br />My next dream I feared to go off to a university to fail, <br /> have fun, and to gain knowledge and many friends. <br />I did it! <br /> <br />In my 20’s I dreamed to gain my confidence at all odds and challenge myself to divorce without cause or being held back anymore. <br />I did it! <br /> <br />In the beginning of my 30’s I began to dream and to change my whole life around to become successful, married, and rich in life. <br />I did it! <br /> <br />Now I dream everyday to never hold back anything, forgetting the bad past, remembering the journeys, and moving on to better dreams. <br />I live it!<br /><br />Ranis Thomas III<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-believed-in-a-dream/
