A dream

Life's a dream, they had told me once
So I was asked to walk with caution, and choose the path they strode…..

So off to bed I went that night….
To dream of fairies and shining lights

Just when you think you've stumbled upon the rock of gold
You are woken up by the bitter & harsh cold

You again try and fade away into the peaceful world
Where cows talk and your friends are foes

You see an angel and try and hold her hand
She assures you life's beautiful and that there is a plan

You urge her on to tell you about the plan
And suddenly you are aware that the doorbell rang

You wake up flustered, still wishing you knew the plan
Just then the postman gives you an envelop in your hand

You flinch and shut the door, still thinking….
What if….and that’s when you see the letter you’re holding

This is the one you’ve been waiting all along…..
But, it’s so unexpected …..is all you could think of

Suddenly the angel flashes in your mind
Only to remind you of the plan

Life’s a dream, they had told me once
But that dreams come true, never did they mention once
