Find a Dream

How do I explain what it means to be alone to my sons

they don't know that I need a life too

"find a dream" they say, as if reading out loud from a book

How do you find a dream when all of yours have been broken

And she smiles and then asks me whether I am a friend

How can I be a friend when all she has done is tried to take all of my dreams away

It cannot happen because they are my dreams and I will live with them till the end of time

It does not happen coz God is on my side.

In this country they ask, Which God, 

God is one we all learnt that when we were in school

Maybe they will recognise that here too one day.

It will really help as there are people here from all cultures and 

backgrounds and different religions.

A secular Republic will be nice to have

One in which dreams can be formed and made and turned into something real

Where I will know that it is fine to dream and to not live with broken dreams that get turned to nought one day

Where my sons will not have to say, Mumma, find a dream, because all of mine would have turned into reality in the light of day.
