Dream

I had a dream
A wonderful dream
Of a house on snowy hills,
Surrounded by lush gardens
A huge apple tree in the center
On which lives the nightingale
With rows and rows of daffodils
Dancing with the winds.
The dream of winter nights
And coffee cups
Of dancing brooks and daisies
But reality is different
Have to choose a part
The man of my heart---with a tiny flat
A few shrubs and a couple of flower pots
And a heart full of love.
Or the man of my dreams
With a big house in snowy hills
Do I want the dream,
The wonderful dream?
Or do I want true love
The real happiness of being loved
Can I live in the cold ,Beautiful, lonely house
Or do I desire for the warm and loving 
Circle of the man of my heart.
I wake up……wake up
And find myself surrounded by the voices
Of ‘Mummy’ with my head in the lap of my love
Happily watching TV in a tiny flat.
