"I dreamed a dream, in the time gone by." She watched the video for the 1000th of times.
She saw dream of Susan Boyle come true, and invariably tears started falling from her eyes.
She didn't want to cry for the dreams she dreamt in a different life, but sometimes she couldn't control herself.
She dreamed of becoming a dancer, ever since she was little.
Alas! her dream was shattered when a drunk driver hit her vehicle.
Resulting injuries meant that her body was paralyzed from the waist down.
And another dreamer's dreams were left unfulfilled forever.
