Once Upon a Dream

Bloggers challenge #12


She dreams while she wakes
He dreams while he stares
I hope, you hope
We all have wishes
But too bad some dreams aren't meant to breathe life

Once upon a dream
She was behind the glass
Peering at that tiny mortal part of her
Fantasizing about his first day at school
But reality, oh so cruel
She had to throw it out of her mind
And send those precious onesies to who needs them

Once upon a dream
He can still hear her voice
His sweet nightingale
But tonight she wasn't there
He had to wake up so he can sleep
Then maybe, maybe she'll sing to him once again

Once upon a dream
By the door, a little girl awaits
Until her beloved mother's arrival
Hugs, kisses, her baby's happiness was her aim
Little girl had to wake up, those too were gone
She lifts her chin and gazes up at the sky
"Dear mother come back to earth once again"

Once upon a dream
I was there
My hand soothing your wounds
Collecting your shattered dreams
I was there
Until I saw the door you left open


Darling, you were gone long ago
