The Dream Jar

Another dream is put in the jar 

The little girl who started it has come so far

She started off with light dreams about fun dares 

Slowly they have turned to heart felt prayers

Things she wants to do, things she wishes she had

Things that will be happy, and things she knows will be sad

Heart cry’s for things to change

Pleadings when things were strange

Hopes for things she knew could never come true

Prayers for friends and people she knew 

Once and awhile there would be a fanciful one 

But she would always regret it and say “why should this be done 

When there are so many hearts out there breaking

So many people whose faiths are shaking 

Things that I could help if only I would so something about it 

If only I would set my eyes on the greater things and never quit 

Because when I leave this world for good

I want to leave it the best I could”

So another dream is put in the jar 

Showing again that this girl had come far

Because she’s determined to make a difference in the lives around her 

And they’ll have the jar to show people what her dreams were
