I, once, dreamt a dream that dreamers oft dream <br />Of loving and living a lovely life <br />A house, my children and a caring wife <br />I, once, dreamt a dream that dreamers oft dream <br /> <br />Oh, how I long to dream that dream again <br />Where hope solemnly sought for nothing more <br />Than to find her standing there, at my door <br />Oh, how I long to dream that dream again <br /> <br />How do dreams die... Do they ever revive <br />How does one learn to trust the coming day <br />When the past keeps trust an arms length away <br />How do dreams die... Do they ever revive <br /> <br />I, once, dreamt a dream that dreamers oft dream <br />Oh, how it seemed closer than dreams oft seem <br /> <br />I lived a dream once upon a daydream <br />We'd walk slowly through the park holding hands <br />Speaking so sweetly and making our plans <br />I lived a dream once upon a daydream <br /> <br />I lived a love once when a love loved me <br />I knew her in ways that only I knew <br />I was the first among her chosen few <br />I lived a love once when a love loved me <br /> <br />In one heartbeat she chose a diff'rent path <br />Oh, how could she leave without one last kiss <br />I often wonder if love still exists <br />In one heartbeat she chose a diff'rent path <br /> <br />I lived a dream once upon a daydream <br />Oh, how it seemed closer than dreams oft seem <br /> <br />((February 2nd,2009))<br /><br />Danny Speicher<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-once-dreamt-a-dream/
