So You Dare to Dream

About the Book

So You Dare to Dream is a collection of original poems and spoken-word poetry that will ignite, excite, and inspire you to reload your dream—dreams of peace, love, family, education, and career opportunities. It will cause you to pull your dream from under the bed, from out of that shed in the backyard, and from behind the Christmas tree stored in the garage. It’s about reuniting with your dream. It will encourage you to scream, scheme, and allow your dream to shine with a radiant beam. You will hear your dream calling you. It will turn your fantasies in a reality of dreams. It will make you dream urgently to the point of not allowing anyone to talk you out of your dream. You will begin to dream loud, dream big, and dream proud. So go ahead. I double-dog dare you!
