Your dreams are coming true.

Sometimes I think,

None of my dreams

are coming true.

Then I realized

that I can sing alto.

When I was twelve or thirteen,

Emily Schroeder was 17 or 18.

I remember one time,

we were singing a hymn at church.

I feel like it was

Angels We Have Heard on High.

I listened to Emily

sing the alto line--

no music,

no book.

Just harmonies

out of her own head

with her own voice

like it was nothing.

And I thought,

How can she do that?

I wish I could do that.

.

The other day,

I was at church,

singing the alto line of a song,

no music,

no book.

And I realized,

I can sing alto.

And from there,

it was a short leap to

My dreams are coming true.

And nothing can stop that.
