Dreams

When I was a kid;
I used to dream,
Catching big fish;
Way up the stream.
Or being in a circus;
Playing funny clown,
Scared by the tiger;
Jumping up & down.
Scolding all the kids;
Correcting the papers,
Wanted to be a teacher;
In all those years.
Days passed by;
and so also nights.
My dreams now;
had a foresight.
I wanted to be someone;
Whom everyone respects,
Doctor, lawyer and engineer;
Someone with bright prospects.
Sometimes I also dreamed;
meeting love of life,
We will get married,
and I will be a wife.
For years together;
I kept dreaming,
Talking in my sleep;
Waking up screaming,
Now my dreams are lost;
As I keep worrying each night,
Tossing and turning, looking out of window;
I wait for daylight.
