Remember

by Evelyn
(Denver CO )

Remember the one
Who is gone
Remember the one
Who tried
And tried again
Remember the one
That tried to achieve the not possible
The impossible
Remember the one
That worked toward their dream
Remember the one
That came such a long way
Only to fail
Remember the one
That tried again
Remember the one
Who never gave up
Remember the one
Who failed one too many times
Remember the one
That tried too many times
Only to fail again
And again
And again
Remember the one
Who was told they could not

BECAUSE they worked
BECAUSE they were told not to
BECAUSE they were told they could not
BECAUSE they had a dream


They achieved the not possible
The impossible


Everyone has a dream
