He Had This Dream

Growing up he had this dream…to be a millionaire…
He’d live in a beautiful house, 
drive a fancy car 
and have wealth beyond compare.

He’d skate through a life of happiness, never wear a frown
There’d be no reason to be sad…for he’d be the richest man in town.

Then he grew up, got married…suddenly…lo and behold
with a family that was growing he put his initial dream on hold.

With these new responsibilities came some apprehension and some doubt
Now a healthy, happy family was all he dreamed about.

Then something wonderful happened…for as his family grew
he looked around and realized…his simple dream came true.

He looked around and realized…he was a millionaire
He had friends, a beautiful family and and love beyond compare.

And today he skates through a life of happiness…
he never wears a frown
after all has no reason to be sad…
for he’s the richest man in town.
