“Open Your Eyes”

By Nate McKenna

Do you want to hear a secret?

Listen closely before I lose it

Close your eyes and hear my voice

Your dreams are not dreams, they are a choice

A choice if you are willing to take

Pause for a moment and take a break

Think about what you dreamed of becoming

Are you working towards achieving that something

Do not let your dreams stay as a dream

It is time for you to start to redeem

Become the version you always wanted to be

Turn those dreams into reality

Most people die with regret

My message you shall never forget

Live as if it is your last day on earth

Then your life will have real worth

Opportunities come and go

Do not make excuses or set the bar low

It is not too late or impossible to start

If you work with purpose and heart

So, take a moment and think about your dreams

Realize it is not as impossible as it seems

Open your eyes and unlock a new door

So that when you pass, your only regret is you did not do more
