Fantastical Dreaming…

There were gnomes and urchins and trolls,

Fairies and peter pan types all thru my dream taking strolls,

They were there I was told, to keep me from getting old,

Told them they were to late my mind and heart gone cold,

But they did persist till I was unable to resist…

I feel better for that dream,

They gave me butterscotch ice cream,

It made me younger; it made me scream,

It made me feel better about the self,

It was the one and only in my dream little elf,

He gave me self-confidence, my life again full of self-esteem…

Such dreams I wish I did have more often,

Instead of the dreams of war and strife,

I could have dreams of getting straight my life,

And of course making Rene my wife,

Our lives together so much more rife…

Twas a dream I will not soon forget,

Nor will I ever or do I now regret,

I in my dream was only a silhouette,

But Rufuz was there as well slobbering so wet,

He is my dog, my best buddy; he is my only pet,

So farewell to the little creatures of that dream,

They are behind me if I need them,

Just like that of a home team…
