Dream a Dream

I recently read APJ Abdul Kalam's Ignited Minds. It had been lying since a long time on the "Wishlist" of my bookshelf. After reading the book, I was overpowered by deep respect for Kalam, for his commitment and vision for the nation as a whole. The book has lot of words of wisdom embedded all along.

I scribbled few lines inspired by APJ Kalam's Ignited Minds and my die-hard admiration for children. I believe children have more healing powers than any divine saint, their touch is more miraculous than of God Himself, and their love the most selfless and unconditional.

With smiles from your heart, and with touch so pure

Embrace this world and heal with your love.

Dream of just a world-full of amity and empathy,
And mold that dream into reality.

Transcend the superficial divisions,
Dream of a white dove with an olive branch,
And fly with the dove on the road to peace.
Dream of freedom and responsible liberty,
And sing that dream into reality.

Where the cord of equality and intellectual knowledge,

Are the drive band,

Dream of that rolling wheel of progress and positive change,

And steer that dream into reality.

Nothing is impossible.
Believe in self, and listen to your heart
Then just wish upon the brightest star,

Bunch all your wishes into sweet little dreams,

And liven all those dreams into reality.

Remember all dreams can come true;

There are no walls, and there are no hurdles.

There is just this world, and you are the mastermind.

Dream of a better world for all life,

And pilot all those dreams into reality.
'Ignite your minds and dream big'.
