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 Elizabeth Santos |

Lovely Elizabeth...Such beautiful words joined to make even better verse. May your roof never fall in and those beneath it never fall out. Irish proverb. |
