As the autumn breeze brushes against my skin,
It whispers softly to me,
Of dreams and schemes and mysteries,
And takes me to places I long to be.
Spring rain falls gently from heaven above,
With my arms outstretched I twirl around,
I raise my face to greet each drop,
And I find myself dancing in Paris town.
Dreaming a simple dream or two,
During the night or in the day,
Gives love, and hope, and inspiration,
Painting rainbows in skies of ashen gray.
I dream of a place to call my own,
Set deep within the spruce and pine,
A cabin, enclosed by drifts of snow,
Built from my heart; true love’s design.
Without my dreams what would I be?
Well…I’d only be half, of who I am,
Dreams render hope, and peace, and love,
A mirror for me, my life to exam.
So I encourage you to dream a dream,
No boundaries there to trap you within,
To experience love on a river walk,
Under the light of Saturn, the magic begins.
Or visit a castle across the seas,
Where romance never dies,
Drink ale in a pub in the emerald green,
Or ride a black stallion beneath crystal blue skies.
As for dreams, they truly release me,
From my troublesome day-to-day woes,
And take me whenever…wherever,
My yearning heart desires to go.

I do too!! My son has been there and loved it. He’s on his way home from Africa currently. He’s producing a documentary there there. I know he was in heaven there as he was surrounded by lots of children.

Dreams are great because you can go anywhere you want. You are not limited by money or time. You can let your imagination take over.
