Dream. By: Aaron Messer
Alone. Sitting at the window. He gazes at the sky, In his toy astronaut helmet. Thinking, how and why, are the stars so beautiful. He feels like he is the only one. Alone. Even the stars, Are surrounded by each other. He thinks, When I go up to space, I too will be surrounded by stars. Reality snaps back, And the loneliness is disheartening. But the dream cannot be deferred. The dream must go on. And so must life.
Deep Down. A soccer player can possess numerous qualities, and own many things, they don’t have to make the team. But deep down Inside. They need, a
ball and a
dream.
Pressure. Set the ball up, On the spot. Seven steps backward, Right Left Right Left Right Left Right Two steps to the left. The pressure makes you feel like the world is on your back. But you stand tall with confidence. You have practiced hours, In the blazing sun and the piercing rain. Look the goalkeeper in the eye, Look left, Look right. Look up to the endless, blue sky. Say a little prayer. Then jog up to the ball, like a tiger getting ready to pounce. Hit the back middle of the ball, with the inside of your foot. Bottom right corner, side netting No celebration needed.
Character. Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Goofy, Pluto. Woody, Buzz, Dori, Nemo. Cinderella, Pocahontas, Mulan. Simba, Hercules, Peter Pan. Lightning McQueen, Mater, and Tarzan. Good times, come to mind. As each memory flows, About a childhood hero, villain, or pet. Every child knows. But there is a lesson to be seen in each character. Each and every one. They are all different. And if they weren't, It would be no fun. That is why Disney is so interesting, But realize so are we. We might not save the day. But you are you and I am me. So even in the hard times, As all characters must go through. It all ends happily ever after. Tell me, is this not true. That is why we are all characters. And that is why,
We should just keep swimming.
