My Dream in the Drawer

Read by Geri Dishman

I once had a dream, so small and light, I kept it in a box.


I once had a dream, so small and light, I kept it in a box.
I kept it hidden, safe and sound, In my drawer of socks.

This tiny dream, I had, you see, Was mostly about me...

... who I’d be, and where I’d go, And what I’d one day see.

At first, it was a little dream,
until one day it grew.
And so I took it out for air,
to show my dream to you.

And then my dream, it got so big, I had to let it out...

I took it to the playground, And watched it bounce about.

Then all the kids, they saw my dream, And said, “We want one too!”
I said to them, “Ok, no probs.” And told them what to do.

“Well, first you think of what you want. Believe it with your heart.

To get a dream as big as mine, This is the place to start.”

“And once it’s big enough,” I said. “You’ve got to let it free,
To fly up high across the world, For all the world to see.”

And at that point, my big old dream, Which once was in a drawer...
Shook and climbed, Took to the sky...

And soared...
and soared...
...and soared.
