Dream a Dream

Dream a Dream

With your eyes tightly closed, as you drift off to sleep,

wonder who in your dreams it is you will be.

When you're fast asleep you can dream anything,

be a prince or a princess, or even be king.

Be slayer of dragons or feared captain of seas,

with your eyes tightly closed, be whatever you please.

An astronaut floating through space;

a time traveller flying through time;

or a lady in lace waiting dainty in line.

A cowboy, or girl, with guns slung on your hip;

or a dolphin jumping gaily through the wake of a ship.

Be a little bird flitting through the soft fluffy clouds,

or a fierce and proud lion whose roar is so loud.

Be an explorer who climbs mountains,

or digs tunnels underground,

and discovers buried treasure, that has never been found.

Be a billionaire on your yacht,

or a poor pauper in Paris;

whatever you want, let your imagination fly free.

So close your eyes child, and drift off to sleep,

and make your own adventures in a field full of dreams.
