I Dreamt A Dream

Hope is life giving...but the death of a dream is...

Saturday, October 4, 2003

I dreamt a dream of a mansion and fine things.

It all would be mine someday.

I held onto a hope,

That only a looser would know,

That mansions,

And fine things, are in reality

…only in MY DREAMS.

J. Allen Wilson 2003
