Hopes and Dreams

What do you hope for, of what do you dream Do you long for distant places, yet to be seen Where the sea laps to shore on a gentle breeze And wind blows gently through the magnolia trees Where you wriggle your toes in the warm golden sand While the fish take food from your open hand What do you long for, of what do you wish Is it to have someone hold you and, with a gentle kiss Let you know they love you from deep in their soul And they’ll be by your side, as you both grow old No matter wherever you both might be You’re in their thoughts, their actions and deeds Are your hopes for the future to be wealthy and wise Or perhaps climb mountains and ski down the sides Some people want to fly high in the sky To feel that freedom, like a bird soaring high While others like to keep their feet on the ground Searching for something they haven’t yet found And as I think of my own distant hopes and dreams I watch the stars in the sky like a glimmering stream Lighting up the night with their welcoming glow My innermost thoughts, only they will know Reach for your dreams is what they seem to say Have hope and be brave, we will show you the way
