Dreams Impossible

My nights are filled with dreams of

a mother holding me tight to her bosom and

covering my faces with warm kisses

My days are filled with wishes for

a father lifting and spinning

me high up in the air

And when my thoughts wander

I dream of having protective brothers and

lovely caring sisters and a pet or two

I dream of dreams that make

my friends say I’m crazy but I know there

are other dreamers like me out there

I dream of attending exotic schools and

becoming a doctor or an engineer or

someone important

I dream of fun adventures and

exciting holiday trips and

dreams known only to me

But most of all, I dream

of love and happiness and joy and

all those free emotions that you enjoy

I dream dreams… impossible dreams
