A Dream Come True
I used to dream of you when I was very little
This dream I held in my hand so carefully for it was very brittle.
Every night I made a wish on that bright star
The one that stood out from all the rest and didn’t seem so far.
I dreamt of the love you give to me and held it close to my heart
For I was very scared that it would get torn apart.
I danced in the warmth of your love shining down
I danced forever ‘round and ‘round.
I sat in your lap so carefully
I looked up at your face framed so beautifully.
You smiled at me and I smiled back
Your love surrounded me like a planned attack.
As I sit in your lap, my eyes start to close
Trying to stay in this dream where no one knows.
Last night I looked up at the starts once more
But I didn’t dream like I did before.
Then you came in and smiled at me
Tucked me in and left silently.
As I fell asleep, I didn’t dream like before
For my dream came true so I dream no more.
