PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I have a dream

to

someday send my words and thoughts

through out the world

to write words down on paper

and in order

all these things

to let some unknown stranger

see the secret visions

of my brain

my many schemes

This is my dream

I have a dream

to share my prose and poems

with those who might never see my face

to write volumns to and of this human race   

to people in some far and distant place

a book of poems, of thoughts

and dreams

so many things

This is my dream

A book with some laughter

and some tears

with words that tell of heart felt worries

and some fears

A book to start the soul to think

and hope that they be thirsty

for the poets drink

a book of love

a book with verses sent by someone great

from up above

I have a dream

It could be a legacy to those I leave behind

to those I miss

and may not ever find again

upon this plain

let them see the world

and through my eyes

and let them know

just how hard this old heart tries

I have a dream

to bring laughter, joy and tears

to those who read my words

or simply hear

let something good come from

my thoughts and pain

for all great poets

have seemed in turmoil

and with much to gain

I have a dream

A book of verse with my name upon the front

to look upon my own book case

and see this book

now that would be a stunt

my words of history and of home and of royal queens

and many things

of war and peace and love

and sweet verses of the heavens

and the up above

I have a dream

I have a dream

that one hundred years from now

some aged scholar might take

my dusty book from off the shelf

and think

she wrote her verses well

and teach a class of students

of words written on poverty and on wealth

and cast some spell

then put this ragged book back on the shelf

back between the words of Poe and Byron and of Riley

and of Burns

ah well, that's a laugh

I have a dream
