For if dreams die
Life is a broken-winged bird
That cannot fly.
Langston Hughes
Who are these people
These doers of deeds,
These dreamers of dreams
Who make us believe?
Who are these people
Who still win the day
When the odds are against them
And strength fades away?
These people are champions
For they never give in.
A heart beats within them
That is destined to win.
They follow their dreams
Though the journey seems far,
From the top of a mountain
They reach out to a star.
And when they have touched it
When their journey is done
They give to us hope
From the victories they won.
So here's to the champions
To all their great deeds.
They follow their hearts
And become winners indeed.
~ Tom Krause ~
to the call of your heart
and see where it leads you.
