I HAVE A DREAM: REFLECTION BY MARIA CASSIA

I HAVE A DREAM

I have a dream, a life-long dream! To see
the whole world. When I was young, I used to look at
a mirage of different countries from an improvised
shutter camera.
Is that Rome? Suddenly, I heard the music "Three
Coins in a Fountain." I imagine myself throwing the
coins to that lovely fountain sorrounded by marble-
like statues.
Is that United States of America? How fascinating!
from the Grand Canyons, to the desert to the lively
New York and Los Angeles. At that young, supple age,
I am determined to see that in the future.
Is that France? What a tower! I have never seen as
tilted as that. I only knew about the Tower of Babel,
then. Anyway, what strikes me is that colourful bridge
with lovers on the lanes.
I have a dream; it may not be fulfilled today but in the
deep recesses of my mind, I know I will see the world.
Not today, maybe tomorrow but the fire in my heart is
always alive. Why?
For nothing is impossible for God!
