PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

When your children are born you have your dreams for them 

but you never really know

what direction they will take…

where their life will go.

As they grow up those dreams you had…

you quietly erase them

as you allow the dreams they have…

to gradually replace them.

And your dream for them becomes more universal

you care less if they are wealthy…

you want them to be loving and generous

to be happy, kind and healthy.

I never dreamed our son would do what I did

never wanted him to be like me…

but I am proud of the life he’s chosen

and the person he came to be…

Case in point…he sent us a picture 

only a day ago

of him atop an electric scooter 

in San Antonio.

Now, I never dreamed he’d ride an electric scooter

never dreamed he’d be in that place…

but often I have dreamed

about that smile on his face…

Sure he's not living my initial dream…

how many children do?

but knowing he is living his…

has made my dream come true.
