Day Dream

1st Shakespearean Sonnet. 1992 age 17. Modern take on classic form.

"Day Dream"

While at the beach my dreams become quite clear.
The husband, the three children and the house.
Divorce, which is the only thing I fear,
Reminds me I must choose a perfect spouse.

I need a man who knows what marriage is
All about or, maybe one who would give
His life for love.  Whoever he is, his
Income needn't be much for us to live.

As their mom, I'll mind the children at home,
While he, their dad, is working late at night.
But much too soon the children will be grown.
Now dad and I do nothing else but fight.

And as the waves crash upon the beach,
I search to find a different dream in each.
