LIFE DREAMS

LIFE DREAMS


What is this life? Just a dream,
In this dream we laugh and scream.

Dreams of childhood, innocent,
Mounts of candy, peppermint;

Fairies, toys and bells and balls,
Ribbons and flowers and dolls.

Dreams of young adolescence,
Of youthful effervescence;

Soccer heroes, movie stars,
Beauty models, racing cars.

Dreams of a family life,
Loving, sincere husband, wife;

Having a wonderful job,
High salary, rising stock.

But then comes the final stage,
With the wrinkles of old age;

Dream of a peaceful exit,
To reach His glorious feet.
