Dreams, Take My Hand

An original poem about embracing your dreams once again. Even in the storm, don't ever forget.

Dreams, Take My Hand

Hey readers! This week, I placed focus on feeling uneasy or regretful in forgetting a goal. Truly, it can be a challenge to place a dream you've had for awhile in motion. I can attest, that these last few weeks, have been difficult for me to remain motivated. I tried my best to showcase these feelings into this personification poem; maybe someone can relate to this for themselves. We will all go through different phases of discovering ways to achieve any goals that are important to us. However, always remember: never forget dreams even in the storm. As elementary as this may sound, it indeed, is true: your aspirations are uniquely 'you.' Take this with you and allow inspiration to follow. Much love to you all!


The rain keeps falling,

Tears from the sky

In a moment like a flash of lightening

The air became less dry

It continued to seep into the ground

Making it muddy, almost like quicksand

Take my hand, Dreams, take my hand

Remind me of yesteryear

Allow the day to be filled with dreaming

When I was younger and more determined

Lately, I've been reminded of being passionate

I can feel the sense of joy just thinking of

Achieving past what I limited myself to

The clouds of the current storm began to roil

As if I was still missing something in mind

Thunder crashed and agreed for me to never forget

Dreams, take my hand, take my hand

Walking down the memories in my head

Of what I knew I could be instead

Sleepless, I tossed and turned

As the wind whistled like a warning

I knew it before the morning:

Dreams cannot be forgotten

They are not my regret

Dreams, take my hand, take my hand

So, I can never forget

I can never pretend

My dreams ever left, the rain now gone

I do, truly, feel best

To know that when the rain leaves

What matters to me creates the seams

To the definition of 'me'

Dreams, keep me close

Dreams, keep me safe

Dreams, take my hand, take my hand

They remain with me

Forever again

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
