My goals and dreams

In the garden of my mind, I plant a seed,
Hoping it grows into all I will need.
My dreams are the sunshine, warm and bright,
Guiding me forward, day and night.

I sail on a ship across life’s sea,
With goals as my compass, setting me free.
Through waves of challenges, I stay strong,
Believing that I will reach where I belong.

My dreams are stars in the sky so high,
Lighting my path as time goes by.
I will chase them down with all my might,
Knowing they are going to lead me to the light.

Step by step, I climb the hill,
With goals as my boots, and focus at will.
It would not be easy I know,
But chasing my dream is a map to follow.
