In the far past, when I was young
and life for me had just begun,
I used to wonder what I'd be,
when I reached maturity.
I dreamed of archeology!

The closest that I ever got
was digging up a garden plot
and sifting through the dirt to find
clumps that I had left behind.
Which wasn't what I had in mind!

I also had some travel dreams,
not destined to take place it seems.
For no exotic lands were found
while chauffeuring my kids around
and on this theme, I could expound!

I guess I must be satisfied
with what I have and try to hide
the fleeting thoughts I have of fame.
Although nobody knows my name,
I can't stop dreaming, just the same!

Yes, I like this too. Sometimes we lose our dreams but we get something better instead. I hope this has happened to you. Love, Joyce

Mike: Thanks for reading and commenting.

Joyce: Thanks. Some of the dreams I had I can now enjoy vicariously through my children.
