As a child I dreamed of a fairy wood <br />Where I could visit, as each child should; <br />To learn of elves and castles of light, <br />Where witches brewed spells and flew in the night. <br />I could talk to the animals; and they'd understand <br />Why I climbed the moonbeams to this magic land. <br /> <br /> <br />As a girl I dreamed of a stallion white, <br />That bore me away to a future so bright. <br />Where a handsome prince rode by my side; <br />Of love and romance, a virgin bride. <br />My husband, my palace, my child; yet unborn <br />Of flowers and birdsong with each rosy dawn. <br /> <br /> <br />As a woman I dealt with much evil and strife, <br />There was no time for dreams as I battled with life, <br />For reality's the nightmare you cannot escape; <br />No pixies, or magic, or love to relate. <br />So, I gave up the heartache, and banished the pain, <br />And now I ride fairy woods on my stallion again.<br /><br />Irene C S ClarkHogg<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/daydreams-14/
