When We Were Little

When he was little
He wanted to go to space
And be an astronaut 
His dreams were crushed
Because he dropped out of school
To help his sick mother

When she was little
She wanted a happy marriage
And to find the love of her life
Well now she's divorced
Married to her fourth husband
While her friend sits alone

When he was little
He wanted to help others
And become a doctor
He finds out he has cancer
And his life goes down the drain
And into a hospital

When she was little
She loved writing
And wanted to be an author
Until she injured her hands
Never to write again
Her words were never heard

When he was little
He wanted to be a singer
And move the crowd
His voice disappeared
Because of nodes
He couldn't sing or play

When she was little
She loved to dance
And wanted to dance all her life
Well, she broke her spine
Now she's paralized
Sitting in a chair all her life

When they were little
They had big dreams
And big plans
Then life happened
Destroying their dreams
They gave up too quickly

The astronaut works for NASA
The love girl married her friend
The doctor got better and helps kids
The author writes by her voice
The singer learned to play instruments
The dancer teaches girls and boys how to dance

When we were little
We had hopes and dreams
We had a future
If we give up on them too soon
They'll never come true
We must hope like a child

When I was little
I didn't know what I wanted to be
And now I do
I want to be an author
I'm not giving up on my dream
And neither should you.

Hey guys! Hoped you liked this one.
Tell me your dream/wish/hope, never stop aiming for it. You can make it, one day. But that's only if you keep hoping, dreaming, believing, and wishing. That dream can come true but its main need is you.
