York University theatre days,
Studying with colleagues.
We became friends for awhile,
Learning about the theatre.
Making a minature stage setting,
Midsummer Nights dream.
An exceptional course,
With learning partners.
i had a very handsome man,
To study with, he had such a calm manner.
A joy to be with,
We went our separate ways after the class.
I continued to pursue my love of acting,
Took a course in the city of Toronto.
Had my photograph taken,
I wrote my resume and mailed that.
Years later I found out that you needed an agent,
My dream on the shelf.
They always say you should live your dream,
Stratford on Avon could guest.
I am actually very shy,
When I was married with young children.
I was chosen for the lead in the community theatre,
Put my lines on cue cards.
Wore the apricot dress i wore to my brother's wedding,
Played opposite a man of good standing.
My husband and children were in the audience,
That was a proud moment for me, then we all returned home.
The play was "Our Town" and very successful.
That will always be a good memory.

My dreamcatcher is there,
Reminds me of the multitude of dreams.
Dreams I have experienced,
Keeping them safe,
A dream is like a movie,
You pray you awake from the adventure.
My dream has a stage setting,
Characters and a story.
To be completed when the dream is finished,
This could be a romance or an escape from danger.
My dreams are usually happy,
I pray that God always guides them.
Do you think you could write your own dream,
A dream is a passage to another world.
