Hold the Dream

Hold on to the dream that you care for;
To the dream that enlivens your soul.
Move forward without hesitation,
And KEEP YOUR EYES FIXED ON YOUR GOAL.

You'll encounter adversity; stumble.
Sometimes it is hard to go on.
Opportunities now that await you
Must be taken or soon will be gone.

You will find strength in lifting another.
Give your heart with compassion and care,
But stay true to the course you must follow
And reach out for the dream that you dare.

The course in your life that awaits you
Is the one designed only for YOU!
And in truth there is no competition:
There are only the things you can do.

So, persistent and focused, keep moving
And go forward with courage to be
Brush aside any doubts that you'll make it;
Learn your lessons in humility

Then, completing this race you have started
Step by step, till you've finished the whole--
You'll be crowned with a glory resplendent
For you kept your eyes fixed on your goal.
