Dream

I was a little girl alone in my little world who dreamed of a
little home for me.
I played pretend between the trees, and fed my houseguests bark and
leaves, and laughed in my pretty bed of green.

I had a dream
That I could fly from the highest swing.
I had a dream.

Long walks in the dark through woods grown behind the park, I asked
God who I’m supposed to be.
The stars smiled down on me, God answered in silent reverie. I said
a prayer and fell asleep.

I had a dream
That I could fly from the highest tree.
I had a dream.

Now I’m old and feeling grey. I don’t know what’s left to say about
this life I’m willing to leave.
I lived it full and I lived it well, there’s many tales I’ve lived
to tell. I’m ready now, I’m ready now, I’m ready now to fly from
the highest wing.
