When I was a child <br />I had a dream <br />Of going to school, making friends <br />And the dream came true, eventually <br /> <br />I had a dream of growing up <br />Wearing make-up; getting a job <br />And the dream came true, eventually <br /> <br />I had a dream of a life-long love <br />Of getting to know each other; marrying <br />And the dream came true, eventually <br /> <br />I had a dream that over the years <br />We would have children of our own <br />And the dream came true, eventually <br /> <br />I had a dream of the children growing up <br />Becoming adults in their own right; leaving home <br />And the dream came true eventually <br /> <br />I had a dream of our children <br />Having children of their own; our grandchildren <br />And the dream came true, eventually <br /> <br />I had a dream of us two on our own <br />Growing older together; closer than ever <br />And that dream is still going on.<br /><br />Marilyn Shepperson<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-had-a-dream/
