Dream

Climb ev'ry mountain

Search high and low

Follow ev'ry by-way

Every path you know

Climb ev'ry mountain

Ford ev'ry stream

Follow ev'ry rainbow

'Till you find your dream

A dream that will need

All the love you can give

Everyday of your life

For as long as you live

This is a song from my favourite movie - Sound of Music. I remember listening to this song as a teenager and as a young adult. I remember thinking that the song sounds so ... Severe. Definite. Final. I mean, all the love you can give, for as long as you live? Isn't that a bit too much? Is it even possible? People grow and with that their dreams and aspirations change. The lyrics were too idealistic for me. According to me, it was too idealistic for everyone except Julie Andrews perhaps.

Now I know better.

My dream is to be a mom. Mom to Ashwin.
