The Dawn

When the past becomes the future. Time becomes a dream. Welcome to the dawn.

A beautiful song by Prince I didn't know existed. The past can be rough but we always have a future. It is up to us to make a clean start and have a good future. Pray, hope and keep going forward. Time becomes a dream. We all have dreams and over time, the dream can happen.

Welcome to the dawn. I see a lot of sunrises working midnights over the year. My middle name is Dawn and I didn't always like this name but after knowing what the dawn is and the dawn being a word used in vampire movies, I can appreciate it. The dawn is so pretty. My cousin's given name was Dawn. She didn't liked being named Dawn, so she changed it to Samantha. Dawn is beautiful and I may have even wanted this for my first name now. Would it changed who I am? No. Only we can change who we are unless we are born into money without a famous last name and our last name means something. Better to make a name for yourself on your own. Change the past, have a future. There is always a future. Dawn. The start of a new day and sunrise. Time and dreams go hand in hand. Beautifully said.

I love this song is Prince. It is slow and beautiful with lovely reflections and makes you think and appreciate what you have. Thank you, Prince for another great song. Was there any song you couldn't do? No. You had it all and did it all. Your spirit lives on.
