Her dreams were sun-coated with bubble gum bubbles,
Pepto-pink petals and porcelain pigs.
Rose-colored glasses saw hearts through a prism,
Unblemished, untarnished like camouflaged figs.
Childlike and precious, she reached for the stars
As her dreams floated upwards, so far and apart.
She knew they weren’t gone, only transiently blocked
Because forever and ever they’re locked in her heart.

Dr. Gael B. Hogan is a writer, artist, speaker and teacher. She is known for her refreshing transparency and expressive personality as she shares the journey of faith and God’s love for His people. Her heart’s desire is for people to know how truly real God is and to see lives healed and changed through an intimate relationship with Christ.
