The Cow Who Dreamed

A cow dreams of travel, games with family, and a feast of love under the stars.

Beneath the moonlit meadow sky,
A gentle cow began to sigh.
She closed her eyes and drifted deep,
Into the magic land of sleep.


Moo, moo, dreams come true!
Adventure waits for me and you!

“Oh, what a trip I’ll take tonight!
Across the stars, beyond the night.
To sandy shores and oceans blue,
A dreamland made for cows like you.”

She packed her bag with clover sweet,
And hay for snacks, a tasty treat.
She wore her hat both wide and round,
Then clopped her hooves upon the ground.


Moo, moo, dreams come true!
Adventure waits for me and you!

The palm trees waved, the breezes sang,
The ocean laughed, the cowbells rang.
She splashed her hooves in sparkling foam,
A seaside cow far from her home.

But soon she heard a happy call,
Her brothers, sisters, one and all!
“Let’s play a game before the feast!
Come hide, come seek, from west to east!”


Moo, moo, dreams come true!
Adventure waits for me and you!

Behind tall rocks, her brothers hid,
Her sisters giggled where they slid.
The cow crept softly, nose to ground,
Until her family all was found.

They raced through dunes, they leapt with glee,
They played beneath a dreamland tree.
And when the golden sun sank low,
They headed home with cheeks aglow.


Moo, moo, dreams come true!
Adventure waits for me and you!

A table waited, long and wide,
With lanterns glowing side by side.
There came sweet grass and daisy pie,
And butter rolls piled mountain-high.

Her family laughed, the stories flew,
The stars above all shimmered too.
A feast of love, of cheer, of light,
That filled her dreaming heart with might.


Moo, moo, dreams come true!
Adventure waits for me and you!

The meadow stirred, the dream grew dim,
She blinked her eyes at morning’s hymn.
And though she grazed in fields of green,
She held inside that dreamland scene.


Moo, moo, dreams come true!
Adventure waits for me and you!
