Dreams

The previous post I wished my wife a Happy Birthday.  I told her I wrote something on the blog for her before I went to work yesterday.  Usually when you write to your lover it is a bit more romantic than “I Sit in Silence.”  I told her I’m not a very romantic type writer.  She corrected me and reminded me of something I wrote after we got married and gave to her.  It has been on our bulletin board and not on this blog.  So in a romantic gesture I am posting it here.  Revised slightly, I hope you enjoy it as much as she and I have over the years.

DREAMS

I once had a dream, a dream of glee, I had climbed the tallest tree.

I once had a dream, a dream of no loss, I was the big boss.

I once had a dream, a dream of fun, I scored the winning run.

I once had a dream, a dream unshy, I reached and touched the sky.

I once had a dream, a dream of which I caught the biggest fish.

I once had a dream, a dream I cried, for my son in pride.  

I once had a dream, a dream of luck, to capture the biggest buck.

I once had a dream, a dream so pure, I had found the magic cure.

I once had a dream, a dream to teach, how to have world peace.

I once had a dream, a dream so rare, I just had to share.

I once had all these dreams and some have come true.

Others are still part of my life’s journey and my spirits yearning.

Then I had a dream, a dream of finding you, and that dream came true.
