Beyond Our Dreams

And Into the Reality of Daylight

True love’s perfect kiss —

a lifelong, never changing embrace.

Calm childbirths with stress-free upbringings

Predictable and consistent lives,

yet full of life and never boring

In our dreams —

our most pleasant dreams

that we expect will become reality.

But our real lives aren’t always so simple.

We are not meant to know our future,

but we are to watch it unfold.

We are to enjoy the pleasantries

that our sweet slumbers behold.

Maybe our pleasant dreams are memories

of past tranquilities —

reminders that there are moments of peace

amidst real life’s disparities.

Or maybe they are symbols of hope

for happy surprises and desires come true

in due time, and in their own way.

But with or without our dreams come true,

with or without our fulfilled expectations,
