A simple Dream

They always said that it was impossible

As always I strived to make it possible

I was not going to accept their negativity

Now it was time to show them my creativity

My disabilities were not going to get in the way

Let them talk until they run out of things to say

Their denial was my most needed motivation

I will walk until I reach my wanted destination

Some stood by my side as other’s started the trash talking

Even if the roads became longer I will keep on walking

To most it was a hobby that reached beyond their expectations

I put my belief in God as I walked through life’s complications

Now I sit and watch my dream as it grows at a quick pace

Those that said no can't even keep a straight face

Walking

This is so well done.  The line - I will walk until I reach my wanted destination - is the one that catches me.  You run you burn out.  You do nothing and nothing gets done.  You walk and you get to "smell the roses"  and that seems to be what this is about I read this in great time and felt a very powerful message.
