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

Oh Liz - this is exquisite, it says to me that no matter what, nothing in this world or beyond it is more precious than the love of our children. God has blessed mothers and fathers with the simplest of gifts, our babies - what a plan! And he has surely blessed you with the power of beautiful expression.
