Just don&#039;t give up trying to do what you really want to do. Where there is love and inspiration, I don&#039;t think you can go wrong. <br /> Ella Fitzgerald

Does it burn
Like a warm stove?
Or whistle like a tea kettle—
And then gets stared at?
Does it click like a typewriter?
Or sparkle like a ball gown?

Maybe it glistens
Like a creek on a summer day.
Or does it make you FLY?

High
Far above all reality.

The author's comments:
I wrote this piece because I was tired of everyone telling me my dreams were unattainable. As I started getting places with my dream I proved them wrong. Don't stop dreaming your bright and shiny dreams. Remember you can attain anything you put your heart and soul into it.
