Who I Am

Love is a beautiful dream A butterfly released to alight on gossamer wings A warm blossom unfurling petals at night Moist dewdrops; Golden birds in flight Love is a beautiful dream A reverie of what life should be Soft sunlight drenches a sandy shore Lapping water; A note clear and pure Slumber my sweet, precious one Believe in true peace when bitterness comes Always know hope is there The world fades away; Without a thought or care Here and now not where and when Love the life you have been given Love those who are your friends Create and dream in fantasy's realm Where true genius within each of us dwells Love is a beautiful dream A sparkling champagne or pink lemonade Light laughter escaping your lips A red balloon; Your first soft kiss Love is a beautiful dream: Join me there so we can both see As we walk along that sandy shore in the moonrise A lighthouse beacon; Watching the world through your eyes
