dream.

I was a little girl

Alone in my little world

Who dreamed of a little home for me.

I played pretend between the trees,

And fed my house guests bark and leaves,

And laughed in my pretty bed of green.

I had a dream

That I could fly from the highest swing.

I had a dream.

Long walks in the dark

Through woods grown behind the park,

I asked God who I'm supposed to be.

The stars smiled down on me,

God answered in silent reverie.

I said a prayer and feel asleep.

Now I'm old and feeling gray.

I don't know what's left to say

About this life I'm willing to leave.

I lived it full and I lived it well,

There's many tales I've lived to tell,

I'm ready now,

I'm ready now to fly from the highest wing.

I had a dream.
