Keep Dreaming

When did we stop dreaming and seeing life in color?

Taking off rose colored glasses and putting on another…

Was it when we got a taste of how hard life could be?

Or did time just make it happen, like the rings inside a tree?

Dreams are more than a story that plays while we’re asleep

They often hold ambitions, and deep wishes that we keep.

Dreams are like a work of art hanging on the wall

Beautifully unique; understood by some -not all…

They often paint a picture of a life we hope will be

They drive us to move forward, to make them reality.

When did we stop gazing up at the blue sky and the clouds?

Imagining what the shapes look like… did life just get too loud?

Dreams can turn to nightmares when anxiety sneaks in

Stealing that work of art; leaving bareness where it’s been.

When a dream is stolen, it robs a little hope

Our eyes see less color, and we look for ways to cope.

When we place our hope in Jesus, He protects it and we see

That He has a good future… and our dreams can hold the key…

When we stop and listen, and look up towards the sky

He can give us some new dreams and answers to our “why?”

We won’t always know what’s next, and maybe never will

But we all have a unique purpose and a dream to fulfill.

So, let’s keep looking up and aspiring to be

A bold dreamer who will change the world if we keep our dreams fear-free.

You just keep on dreaming and leave the rest to Him

Who knows what could happen… if we only just begin

Choosing bold faith with you,

Katie
