The Impossible Dream

Good morning,
I pray the day finds you well.

The year was 1844 and a young man was about to do something that was about to become a life changing movement all across the world. He dreamt of a world where young men did more than fight and bicker. Did more than just live for the moment. He dreamt of changing the world.

He dreamt the impossible dream.

He dreamt:

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 lay 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 fight the unbeatable foe
To reach the unreachable star

That man was George Williams, the founder of the YMCA.

We have more men and women just like George in our "Y's" today.

People that want to see:
Families not torn apart by drugs and violence.
Kids lives not destroyed by alcohol and drugs
Communities not torn apart but coming together to solve issues
People not living in fear

We have men and women in our y's" that want to see:
People helping one another
People caring for one another
Entire communities loving their neighbor.

We too dream the impossible dream.
We too fight the impossible fight.
We too reach for the unreachable star

And the world will be better for it.

Our CEO Tyler (Yep that is his real name. People need to know you) sent me this song, it says how we feel.

If that one man scorned and covered with scars
Still strove with his last ounce of courage
To fight the unbeatable foe
To reach the unreachable star

So can we.

Something to ponder.

Blessings,
Roger
