In honor of his memory 

“A life long dreamer”

Who am I?

I am a dreamer

I let my emotions take over me

And I dream.

I dream of my past, present, and future,

I dream of what I long for,

I dream of life

 My dreams take me to the depths beyond my hidden shell

Books take me to fantasies beyond my reach

Languages take me to cultures I desire to seek

Music takes me in.

I dream constantly,

I dream recklessly,

I dream passionately

 If I have nowhere to go,

I dream

If I need motivation,

I dream

Time keeps moving and I still dream

Who am I?

I am a dreamer.
