a child dreams
of what could be
when they grow up
such fantasies
rich and famous
strong and wise
a superhero
such dreams
such lies
fill the spirit
spur the soul
to triumph
to loss
it's life
I know
I remember as a child
such dreams I had
to fight like Conan
to never be sad
to just be the best
to do what's right
for family friends
in God's bright light
I remember hurt
pain and fear
of losing someone
whom I held near
of finding love
making vows
then sorrows loss
showed itself
I dreamt of heaven
dreamt of hell
searched for an angel
who wouldn't sell
who'd be honest
in love and life
I made it my will
to help those in strife
yet once more
love wasn't real
figments fantasy
colored in teal
I never imagined
what love could do
nor the choices to make
if we were true
I remember
promises made
broken and strewn
across the bay
as waters flow
as deserts cry
I even remember
I dreamt how I'd die
how different now
the seasons be
from what I'd imagined
to what now I see
the rain seems wetter
the snow cold and dry
but when I close my eyes
once more
I fly
I remember the dreaming
the sense of the whole
how the image was a picture
from deep in my soul
how the essense of life
can be found in our dreams
no matter our future
as long as we dream
I remember.......
