I Hope You Dream

I hope you dream, awake or asleep. Just know that I will listen to these recordings of your heart and soul. I hope, when someone says they don't care about things so inconsequential or scoffs over the silliness of it all, that you remember a silly little thing once saved me.

I hope you hold closely the good times you've had and the ones you will. May happiness reach you even in the stillness of late nights or endless days. I hope you find good memories that last a lifetime, that you can make room while healing the brokenness inside you.

I hope you laugh. And if you can't, I hope you'll meet someone who can teach you. I pray your dreams come true, especially the ones you're too humble to entertain. I hope you know it's okay to sing, that inspiring melodies harbor untold stories, and hopes, and dreams.

I hope you realize all that dreaming can eventually result in gifts whether sent from companions, the universe, or yourself. And if you forget the significance of it all, I hope you recall the little girl who dreamt about writing stories for the world to cherish and became a poet, entrusting impressions of her heart and soul to you.
