I want to find the fairy tale
To live within that perfect scene
To make a wish that will not fail
To believe in things not yet seen

I want to find my dream come true
To skip from cloud to cloud with glee
To dance in the spring rain with you
To kiss the childlike hope in me

I want to touch the moonbeam's ray
To blow star dust free from my hands
To run barefoot with heart of play
To roam the beach of pure white sands

I want to taste the purest love
To lay in a chestnut fire glow
To see faith take wing with a dove
To trust enough that I just  know

I want to be held throughout the night
To spend days in carefree laughter
To be the one in which they write
~Lived Happily Ever After~

Don't know what to say but "B E A U T I F U L", and what a dream to have.  I hope it has or will come true for you.

How beautiful is this!!!!!

You will find all those things, Butterflies, because you have a good heart and you are a good person.

LOVE the graphic!!!!

Being happy doesn't mean everything's perfect; it just means you've decided
to see beyond the imperfections.

Beautiful is a word that only just begins to describe this one my friend. You have woven the feelings into your words so very well, once again your words have touched me. What would we be without our dreams?

"Perfect" is the word that comes immediately to mind - when I find a better one I'll post another response as I'll probably read this one again and again - it speaks so well to me

Dreams painted on the pallet of angel wings
Fairy tales of the heart found in verse
Hopes of reality found as the butterfly sings
Removing the confines of yesterday's curse

It is all in the heart and in what you can do
As we all have the power to change what we will
The secrets rest in the soul with many a clue
Telling of dreams lost by simply sitting still

So go and make all of your fantasies become real
Don't let those that don't believe, take away that
Go out and take charge, do not get caught sitting still
For you and your strength I will forever tip my hat

=================

If anyone had the power to make their dreams come true my friend, it would be you and of that I have no doubts at all.  Wonderful write from you and as the others have said, you have penned the dreams of so many with this one.  Absolutely beautiful.
