Dreams Become Real

Dreams Become Real

when I was small
I sailed a paper boat,
made from shiny red Christmas paper
left over and tucked away,

inside I drew a picture, 
heaven in blue Crayola.
as I  worked the bees hummed 
from flower to wild clover

I hummed too
Dorothy’s song 
although there was no rainbow
I wanted there to be

a place that was happy and magical
my boat would know the way.
