A dreamer’s words

Every day and night I dream

Of all the things

I’ll ever see

I dream of vast lands and seas

And kingdoms I rule my own

I love the silence and my eyes are closed

They take me to places I wish to be

Oh! How wonderful it would be

I was a princess on a throne

Or to be a character in a

Story that is tragic.

With magical adventures

I want to be in

After all when each day comes

At the end it is sad

Yet don’t worry for there’ll

Be another day to dream
