“when you look like yourself but you are somebody else” by Flora Cash – those lyrics came to mind. It is nice to pretend at times, writing gives me that outlet. thank you for this beautiful poem today.
I wanted to be an actress so I would be loved and adored by many people. I am loved by many people and adored by my husband. I no longer want to be an actress.
And have you made it? become someone else? 😉

Sometimes your dreams come true…..
“Dreams of The Heart
I cannot walk the continents
Like the intrepid Marco Polo
But my feet have felt the sands of time
Pass between my toes
I have not sailed the high seas
Like the courageous Christopher Columbus
But my body has bathed
In an ocean full of kind hearts
I’m yet to fly in space
Like the brave Neil Armstrong
But I have reached for the stars
And touched my soul’s dreams”

There have been times I longed for fame and adulation too. Sometimes I still do, but not nearly as much as I once did.

Maranda, this poem was a pleasure to read. We all dream of whom we want to be as we grow up.
