I penned this poem about a dreamer for those who fear their aspirations may never materialize—a doubt I sometimes harbor myself. Yet remember: it's these inner visions that transform our world. Don't suppress them!
Embrace your dreamer's spirit, for it makes you extraordinary. Your unique dreams deserve to be shared, illuminating possibilities others have yet to imagine.
A beautiful mermaid visited me
I knew at once she came from the sea
To show me a path and direction to take
A spell to awaken a journey I must make
I now see so clearly what was hidden in me
For I am a dreamer and it's okay to be
A dream like a wave that moves with the tide
Closer and faster to the shore it rides
Unfolding and spreading upon the beach
Saturating each grain of sand within reach
As does a dream when released from inside
Like a message in a bottle traveling far and wide

The Maiden Factor raises funds for educational programs for girls worldwide. It was founded by Tracy Edwards, the first female skipper of an all-female crew in the Whitbred Round The World Race. I was so inspired by Tracy's story, and her courage to follow her dreams. Her inspiration makes it possible for girls around the world to follow their own dreams through education and awareness.
