Is It a Dream

Is it a dream that i live by the sea in a beautiful little cottage with roses round the door.I can look out of the window and watch the sea as it glistens and crashes onto the shore.

When i was a girl i belived in fairy tales, i thought they were oh,  so true and i dreamnt  that one day a prince would come and whisk me away to his castle made of dreams, but reality  soon kicked in and made my head spin , it was  time to put the dolls away  and just get on with my day.

At school i was a dreamer , my head firmly in the clouds, i was bored out of my mind and that truth i didnt hide, i just thought why try ?
I just want to get on with my life.

What would i be a dancer in a show? A pop star ? An ice skater? I really dont know ! 
You can hold onto your dreams and try with all your might, but they'll come a day  when life gets in the way  Be sensible and practical, "get a job " is what they say and so i put my dreams away.

But back they came and i wonder why . But in my heart i know. Life is too short to let it pass you by so never do give up the fight.Some dreams can come true if you really want them to. Belive in yourself and you will find  that spark of inspiration thats hidden deep inside.
