• Real Dreams

  After remembering about the Sound of Music, I started checking around and found this:

  It’s a nice song. The warmth and power of this song I think comes, not from the artists, but from the authors, Rogers and Hammerstein, and the meaning behind the song.

  It says to work hard to reach your dream: you may have to climb mountains, but keep going.

  What kind of dream? The words say, “a dream that will need, all the love you can give, every day of your life, for as long as you live.” This is a real dream.

  I think those two men, Rogers and Hammerstein did have a dream, and their dream was the music and plays that they wrote, and with these words they are trying to say how they reached their dream: they followed it with all their heart. And it worked, they wrote musicals that were so great that no one hardly remembers what came before them.

  That’s what the words say, the music is saying, “you will reach it,” it wraps around you like a warm blanket. That is what they were trying to do: teach their wisdom through words and music, and encourage you on.

  What is your dream? Do you have a dream that you can follow with every ounce of love you possess?
