Back to School Thoughts

Sorry for the delay in posting.  I took a vacation break.  I did, however, want to post a few words for those returning to school.   First, I'd like to wish you all an enjoyable, educational, productive and exciting school year.  Remember, how you  begin determines how you will end.    You deserve nothing less than your best.   Don't let anyone else determine your destiny.  You are the driver in the seat of life.  Make your own choice; listen to your own voice.  No one can treasure you, respect, you and love you better than you.

Young boy, young girl,

One day you can change the world.

To make your dream come true,

You have to believe in you.

It does not matter what people say.

God can make a way out of no way.

If you have a dream to pursue,

Don’t let others discourage you.

because they can’t see what you see,

Doesn’t mean it cannot be.

I may say it's a waste of time,

But your dream is not mine.

Your vision doesn’t belong to me.

It may be more than my eyes can see.

Through the winds of doubt, persevere.

You can’t run away and disappear.

The way may be cloudy, but one day it will become clear.

Then, you will know your dream is near.

Even when others say it is not so,

You will know.

You will see your dreams finally come true.

Keep pressing until you break through.

One day your dreams will come true.

Just believe in you.
