Impossible

              The drama teacher and I went to see "The Man of La Mancha" this week. I kept looking for the windmills but there were none. The part I liked best was how his heart was captured by the town whore. To her, every man was like every other man... until she met him. In his eyes, he saw her as pure and beautiful and she could do no wrong. He was a strange man with what seemed to be a huge imagination. His love letter remained in her hand, even though she had no idea what he had written in the letter. This man was different. This man loved her past her pain. But when she found him, he was very sick and thought that everything he had been through had been but a dream. It was her love and her words that brought him back to his reality: to fight for his quest, to reach that unreachable star.

 When we are little, nothing seems impossible. What happened in your life to change that? 

To dream the impossible dream
To fight the unbeatable foe
To bear with unbearable sorrow
To run where the brave dare not go

To right the unrightable wrong
To love pure and chaste from afar
To try when your arms are too weary
To reach the unreachable star

This is my quest
To follow that star
No matter how hopeless
No matter how far

To fight for the right
Without question or pause
To be willing to march into Hell
For a heavenly cause

And I know if I'll only be true
To this glorious quest
That my heart will lie peaceful and calm
When I'm laid to my rest

And the world will be better for this
That one man, scorned and covered with scars
Still strove with his last ounce of courage
To reach the unreachable star

The best things in life are unseen. That's why we close our eyes when we kiss, cry, and dream...
