REALITY...

A boy stands at the brink of life,

With endless possibilities in sight,

His future shimmers like a star,

And beckons him to go far.

He dreams of what he could become,

Astronaut, scientist, or teacher some,

He knows the world is full of strife,

But he's determined to make a life.

His heart is full of hope and joy,

As he sets out to be his best,

His mind is sharp, his spirit coy,

And his future, yet to be expressed.

No one knows what lies ahead,

But the boy knows he has a chance,

To take the road less traveled instead,

And make his life a brilliant dance.

So let us all remember this,

That every boy holds a world of potential,

And every dream is within his reach,

If he believes and stays consistent.

For every man in a noble place,

Was once a boy with a simple dream,

And the world will always have to wait,

To see what this boy can bring.
