This is the first poem that I wrote that was published in a book and I actually won an award for.
Dreams
To really make your dreams come true;
Follow your heart and think things through.
It's going to be hard,all sweat and tears;
and understand you will have fears.
Sometimes you will feel like giving up;
You can do it,just tell that bad conscience to shutup.
A good conscience will help you in life;
Like getting a job or buying a a car would be nice.
At times material things wouldn't even be a factor;
Education is the key and that's what matters.
Through it all you may have completed your dream;
You have shown the world how dedicated you can be.
