I Dream

My dreams I dreamt...
Of finishing school
Of teaching
Of holding life in my heart
Of love that would last beyond life

Have changed

My dreams now belong to my children

I dream...
Of a home that cannot be taken
Of purring, fluffy kittens
Of grass as green as grasshoppers
Of cloud-watching on a summer lawn

I dream of a childhood without monsters
