Roger Horsch Poet Ballad

A Pocketful of Dreams

I have a pocket Full of dreams
that, I carry wherever I go
I wonder what dreams I'll dream tonight
for I never seem to know

I closed my eyes to drift asleep
as I reached in for a dream
I grabbed one tight within my hand
then, flying became the theme

Now, I'm in a dream and flying
and, this feeling of flight is grand
I have no wings to fly at all
Yet, my feet lift off the land

I used my mind to fly around
such freedom I can feel
For, deep down in my heart I know
that flying can't be real

I woke with the dream of flying
And yet, it's never as it seems 
But, I know I'll dream this dream again
from my pocketful of dreams

Skat A February 17, 2014 at 9:41 AM One of your best poems. SKAT Roger Horsch February 17, 2014 at 10:02 AM Thanks Skat, It was written as a lullaby. I have not yet had it recorded. But I have sung it several times. Both young and old seem to like it. I guess I found my best style of writing. I do my best when I am writing for children. But I'm still a child at heart.
