~ Dare To Dream  ~
♥   ♥   ♥   ♥   ♥   ♥   ♥   ♥  

Seeking brighter 'morrows
sunshine giving light
void of cloudy weather
free from pain 'n strife
♥   ♥   ♥
I want to ride a carousel
'n dance the night away
laugh again at little things
enjoy each brand new day

Paint skies in pastel colors
flitter with butterflies
as imagination leapfrogs
'if only I could fly'

I long to run in pastures
green grass tickling toes
'n swim in deep blue waters
where waves waltz into shore
♥   ♥   ♥
I want to dance 'n laugh 'n sing
pretend I'm still a child
'n somehow find a calmness
if only for awhile

When evening shadows tiptoe
'n ballet through the trees
peaceful sounds of nature
whisper me to sleep

Behind my lids, in slumber
I feel alive, brand new
in dreams I live out fantasy
'til morning brings its gloom
♥   ♥   ♥
The 'morrows hold no promise
'nor written guarantee
plaques me with uncertainty
'n so I dare to dream

I crave for better 'morrows
keep hope within my heart
wish I may, wish I might
upon the brightest star

I want to dance in pastures
'n swim the oceans blue
if only for an hour
hopes 'n dreams came true
