All Is As In A Dream



The sun is bright. I slept last night.
My heart is fancy-free.
The birds take flight. I fear no height.
All is as it should be.

The world is right. I have no fright.
My love is ever near.
The thrills excite. I feel no slight.
All is as in a mirror.

The blind gain sight. I see no blight.
My hope is on the rise.
The good use might. I fly my kite.
All is as sweet disguise.

The dogs don't bite. I find no spite.
My life is on the beam.
The cats don't fight. I dread no plight.
All is as in a dream.
