A Valley of Dreams

In my valley of dreams
There is verdant green life
Beneath azure blue skies
With peace everlasting
Found in love’s boundless ties

In my valley of dreams
I am free of the stress
Infidelity brings
Knowing such a freedom
Lifts my heart as it sings

In my valley of dreams
There is children’s laughter
Healthy, happy and whole
A mother’s fondest dream
That abounds from her soul


In my valley of dreams
I’m lacking for nothing
I have comfort and home
I know true happiness
No more reasons to roam
