Life

Is there really such a thing As a life smooth as the sea in moonlight No storms to darken the heavens No sorrows to break a heart Is it possible I wonder? When sleep is elusive And tomorrow too far away to be real Do all stories have a happy ending And Prince Charming rescues the fair damsel I gaze out the window There is not much else to do At midnight in a house filled with ghosts And too many memories Why do I cling to the hope I will escape the evil ogre hiding in the attic I am no longer a child Who believes in dreams and promises Hope refuses to die I wait for the sun to come up And play with the flowers in my garden Maybe this is the day My prince will come to rescue me And take me away to his castle in the sky
