A Dream

Once I had a dream

which possessed me long ago

which strove me to live longer

and motivated  to strive harder

Once I had a promise

to keep for the rest of me

to bring forth happiness and joy

to wait for each and every moment

From the rest of my world

imprinted upon me

the promise I made

conquered by love

Now like a tree against all odds

Withering and long forgotten

yet standing tall upon the rest

waiting from a well kept promise

Its been long ago

everything ends well

but then awakened by the call

like the last leaf on the bow

Sure i didn't forget

The promise I made long ago

I just didn't make it

late for that last minute call

Looking back at the time

where did I go wrong

It is still there

standing so tall

Now I cannot return back

nor rewind the moment

there is no hesitation

for the unfulfilled promise

Should i forget

with no regrets

the song of my heart

tuned to what is now

should I be thankful

for the power of that promise

that kept me going

that gave me strength

to live and be happy

content with what i have

Is that the purpose of dream

to believe beyond compare

to live with hopes and wishes

to survive with light and joy

Now, am happy and free

the purpose is well served

what I am now I bestowed

upon the unfulfilled promise
