Happyness

Please don’t tell me I have no dreams
I have the same desires as any woman
I’ve just learned the truth
The pot of gold at the end of the rainbow
Has been attached by the IRS
And two of the three wishes the genii granted me
Were wasted on those White Castle burgers
And a giant Mountain Dew
I know I’ll probably lose the last one
On something equally silly
And will be none the worse for the loss
There really is no tooth fairy
Santa Claus and the Easter bunny
Are someone else’s idea of a joke
And I’ll live just fine without them
My dreams are more down to earth than that
I know there is no such thing as a free lunch
I just want a few minutes of happiness each day
And a good sleep each night
I want a job that makes me happy
And friends that bring me joy
If Brad Pitt or Johnny Depp never grace my bed
I have just wonderful memories of the guys who did
And that my friend, makes me a wealthy gal
So yeah, I still have dreams
Just like everyone else
But I don’t expect to win the lottery
Just a scratch off now and then
One dollar at a time

You go girl! Dream all you want but keep your feet firmly on the ground. Thank you for sharing this whimsical look into your world of what you expect. Just as long as they aren't GREAT expectations. :P

May the Lord Jesus bless you, and those whom you love, and be with you always, and at your side constantly. With much love in my heart, joy to the world, peace on earth, & ((((((((((MANY WONDERFUL SISTERLY HUGGGGSSSS)))))))))), your little sister, Barbie

written with warmth and cheer. Super. I think I remember those hamburgers, but moreso Krystal ones. Cheers

This is really telling it like it is Sue, and I love the simplicity and honesty of the concept...if we all could accept such warm but wonderful lifes what a wonderful world we would have.
