Analysis of The Dream Is Real

Lloyd G. Cresci 1956 (California)



Everything I heard about you,
Was all so very good.
I often thought about meeting you,
But didn’t think I ever would.

Then came that day at the party,
When you walked thru my door.
I knew that you’d be on my mind,
From then until evermore.

No matter what I do each day,
Thoughts of you are always there.
I always manage to think of you,
And that happens everywhere.

You’re the most beautiful soul I know,
You’re intelligent and kind.
And you’re so very gorgeous,
I can’t get you off of my mind.

The way the sun plays on your hair,
And that sparkle in your eye,
They always truly dazzle me,
Whenever your face I spy.

Thank you for being in my life,
You’ve made it all worth while.
Please tell me all that I can do,
To always see you smile.
