Valerie

There was a woman named Valerie Who stayed at home with family She never made a brand new start Or had to heal a broken heart Her life was just a daily routine A never ending dreary scene She never had to think too much Her friends were never out of touch One magic night she had a dream She saw herself upon a stream A stream that swept her gentle and free In a bright red raft to the deep blue sea The current carried her along And sang a soothing siren song Which made her close her eyes and sleep In care of whales from the deep Refreshed by the wind she awoke with a smile On a beautiful white sand desert isle And very soon she was aware That no one else was with her there The island fruit about her feet Exceeded any worldly treat And breathing fresh clean ocean air She soon forgot to worry and care Within this clime sublime and sweet She knew her life was incomplete Then suddenly she left her dream But in her eyes there was a gleam A new expanding point of view Which told this woman what to do She packed a bag not used before And left to travel ever more
