Be Careful What You Wish For
I know and understand in this life
We all have our own individual part's
and roles to play
You have yours as so to I have mine
I only wish for just 1 single day
I had your's
So I may know just exactly how it feels
To be the reason why the sun does shine
and what it takes to make an eagle fly
But yet and if I ever did the flip side
is I also do know this
Once I have seen exactly just how
green the greenest grass can grow
Tomorrow I will then also have to return
to my actual real life surrounded on all
sides by intermittent patches of barren
brown grass
Only difference now being is my new
favorite color is green
Which until the day I die I have to live
without
And I will never see the likes of it again
Dreams are next best and 2nd best
at best
So be weary and careful what you
dream for
Just incase because they maybe
leave you wanting more
Yet and but in effect not so much
richer but poorer than before you
though you we're in fact
And once done you have no means
so can never go back
