Life is Just a Dream

A child may dream the dreams

That boundaries can not hold;

Through infinite imaginings,

That magically unfold.

A poor man dreams of riches

Believing it will render

Secrets to eternity

With every joy and splendor.

A rich man may still dream,

His earnings never cease

Yet longs for days gone by

Back, when he knew peace

The old man only dreams

And stares upon the ocean

He wishes youth could now return,

As if by magic potion.

A lonely man will dream of love

A tender sweet embrace

With someone he may share

His heart and soul and space.

The dreamer dreams of fantasies

He tries hard to redeem

Only to discover,

Life is just a dream.
