A Dreamer
After knowing a certain individual for the past little while
I come to the realization that there are people just like me
People who appreciate just the simple things in life
Like a sweet conversation with someone that loves life too
Who's not always ready for combat verbally or otherwise
Someone with love overflowing and a joy for living
The simple things like taking Rover for a walk
Watching kids playing a game of baseball at the park
An old man zinging along in a motorized wheelchair
To me, these simple things bring a tear to my eye
Enjoy it while it lasts, these precious moments are gone in a flash
Except for those yahoos at the top, why must it be so
Ninety-nine percent are peace loving law abiding folks
Only want a happy life with family and friends
Call me a dreamer, been like this since I was wee!
