Hopes and Dreams
God has hopes and dreams for us,
I dream of getting married to a handsome man again.
Dream of buying a beautiful cottage,
Living in the true north,
I hope to become a performer,
Used to play the piano for teas.
I even sang an Elvis song,
For the dinning-hall unrehearsed,
My favorite neighbors applauded,
Liking my offstage performance.
I sang with the Mississauga churches,
My favorite was to sing with the folk music group.
We would practice during the week,
On stage on Sundays, very fulfilling and good company.
I was a back-up singer with the local church.
My son Erik was in the audience.
He used to bring me a Poinsetta at Christmas,
Kirk married Jenn and now they have beautiful children, Maya and Merrick.
Erik married Lisette and they had a beautiful Hawain Wedding,
Costa Rica was their chosen holiday.
We remember these good experiences,
God has blessed us and we should always have hopes and dreams.
