Your Dream Is

Your dream is the mole
behind your ear,
that chip in your front tooth,
your freckles.
It’s the thing that makes
you special,
but not the thing that makes
you great.
The courage in trying,
the passion in living,
and the acknowledgment
and appreciation of
the beauty happening around
you does that.
