ONLY IN DREAMS

ONLY IN DREAMS

A Poem by David Dodsworth

ONLY IN DREAMS I AM TRULY CONTENT

LIVING LIFE TO ITS FULLLEST, AS A HUSBAND AND PARENT

PEOPLE ARE HAPPY

AND LIFE RUNS SO SMOOTH

SETTLED FOREVER WITH NO NEED TO MOVE

THE DAYS ARE ALL PERFECT

LIKE THE WORDS OF A SONG

AND JUST LIKE THE LYRICS

NOTHING EVER GOES WRONG

A WORLD WITHOUT EVIL

A WORLD WITHOUT PAIN

WHERE PEOPLE ARE HONEST

AND NOT OUT FOR GAIN

LOOKING AFTER EACH OTHER AND NOT NUMBER 1

NOBODY CRYING AND ALL HAVING FUN

THIS IS IDYLLIC AND THIS IS SURREAL

THERES NOBODY STARVING OR BEGGING A MEAL

NO ONE IN PRISON AND NO ONE ON DRUGS

NO SUCH THING AS REVENGE OR HOLDING A GRUDGE

BUT DREAMS ARE NOT REAL THERE JUST IN MY HEAD

I WAKE IN THE MORNING AND THIE DREAM IS NOW DEAD.
