A Dream’s a Dream

I soared the sky on wings of dreams
With eye upon a star
Following the misty beams
To visions from afar

Hurricane and storm and wind
What pain God may impart
Were weathered by the strength within
And yearnings of the heart

The sunny days of happiness
The days of dark and strife
Were all consumed with eye above
Toward dreams of better life

With eye turned upward every night
In view of distant sun
That far celestial star so bright
A dream I could have won

But I was always drawn back down
By forces from below
It seems that voices on the ground
Would keep my gliding low

With blemished quill and battered wing
I left those dreams above
For I couldn’t vision anything
More real than family’s love

A dreams a dream, but I would find
Those things of greatest worth
Are in a little child’s mind
And live right here on earth

Liz,

Oh, to dream with the un-repressed freedom of a child.

This was a delight to read. Beautifully written.

Liz, this is so magical.  The flow and verse and the way that you expressed the experience with your words were all perfect.  How lovely it is to see the wonders of the world through the eyes of a child.  You have such a way with words!  Applause!  

Take care,

Lovely Elizabeth...Such beautiful words joined to make even better verse.

Nothing more beautiful that a family's love and a lovely poem to express it.
