She Still Believes in Dreams

Folder: 
Life and Living

On a summer evening long ago

sitting near a stream

images of knights and castles

filled her childhood dreams.

She thought of only pretty things

(too young to know of pain)

she believed that in her dream world

forever she'd remain



True to all those childhood dreams

her knight came by, and then

he stole her heart and carried her

to realms she'd never been;

and filled her life with roses

slew dragons every day

but then one day death's angel came

and took her knight away.



The years have passed, the castle's still

she lingers near the stream

and dreams of knights and castles

and of her childhood dreams.

For she had seen her dream come true

and watched it fade again;

still she believes in fairy tales

and holds on to her dreams
