Jack Ellison Poet Quatrain

Dreams Are Just Dreams

No matter how silly you think it is
Tell us your favourite dream
There's nothing that can surprise us
Heard lots of tales and schemes!

How about one where you're flying
Surveying the country below
Maybe you're ruler of a distant land
With a magic wand that glows!

Or what if you could be the captain
Of a great ocean going liner
A clown in a colourful marching parade
Could there be anything finer?

Bet you haven't thought of this one
A drummer in a rock 'n roll band
Or how about a pitcher for the Yankees
A lifeguard all muscled and tanned!

Have you ever wished you were Santa
Handing out Christmas prizes
Or an opera singer like Pavarotti
A super hero with many disguises!

I guess all of this just goes to prove
No matter how hard you scheme
It's best to be just the person you are
After all, dreams are only dreams!

Carol Eastman June 19, 2015 at 12:18 PM AH Jack! Dreams are the building blocks to tomorrow... If we never dreamed we wanted to go into space... We never would have. And if I hadn't dreamed about a fun baby Dragon... I would have never had this much fun... Dreams matter! Jack Ellison June 20, 2015 at 6:41 PM You are oh so right my dearest Carol... as always! xxx

Lindsay Laurie June 18, 2015 at 8:45 PM Couldn't agree with you more young Jack... if you're a person who helps out others less fortunate then you've made their dream come true - thanks mate - Lindsay Jack Ellison June 19, 2015 at 5:46 AM Thank you once more my friend... much appreciated!
