Dreams Destroyed



The dream of dreams
Love, family and friends
A dream of dreams
Will it ever begin

The dream of dreams
Tiny feet running about
Yasunari, Liam & Bella
But one has forgot

The dream of dreams
Being held tight at night
Warm, safe and secure
But no one’s in sight
 
The dream of dreams
A king loving his queen
Loyal, honest and driven
But that’s not the scene

The dream of dreams
Two dogs with one cat
Fluffy, Izzy and Kaine
But desires aren’t intact

The dream of dreams
Pair of partners in crime
Travel, fun and business
But one never has time

The dream of dreams
Being each others peace
But they’re just dreams
So I’ll stop dreaming
And just have a seat
