Gotta say goodbye, <br />To a dream I’ve had, <br />For a very long time. <br />Not quite sure when it started, <br />I could have been quite little. <br /> <br />The dream might have started, <br />Somewhere near the age of eight. <br />I dreamed of a quaint little house, <br />With a white picket fence, <br />Just right for a family. <br /> <br />I dreamed of the man, <br />Who must have been my husband, <br />With a little baby of our own. <br />I dreamed of happiness, <br />In our loving family. <br /> <br />When I turned twenty, <br />My dreams had changed.. <br />No hubby required! <br />A beautiful child was born, <br />The dream was still alive. <br /> <br />Then at the age of twenty six, <br />All the good men had eluded me. <br />So I decided to proceed with the dream. <br />I brought a quaint little house, <br />To raise my happy family. <br /> <br />Things went well, <br />For a good many years. <br />Until tragedy hits, <br />And the dream, <br />Must come to an end. <br /> <br />It’s time for me to give up my home, <br />No longer able to afford it. <br />If my luck had lasted, <br />Just a couple more years, <br />My dream would still be alive. <br /> <br /> <br />Good bye my quaint little house, <br />With the white picket fence, <br />And the hubby waiting in the door. <br />I’m sorry I have to give up, <br />This childhood dream of mine. <br /> <br />Good bye.<br /><br />A.M.
