POCKET FULL OF DREAMS

I had a pocket

Full of dreams

Sleeping and awake

Dreams I had seen

Dreams of happiness

Friendship and love

Hope and wonder

Peace like a dove

Dreams of adventure

Freedom and height

Life and laughter

Freshness like morning sunlight

I had a pocket

Full of dreams

I know not how I got

A hole in the seam

Fell away my dreams

One by one

Out of my pocket

Like rays of sun

Now I have a pocket

With a hole in it

And I am trying hard to stitch

So, new dreams I could fit

I once had a pocket

Full of dreams

They’re all gone and lost

For a hole in the seam

Someday I’ll have

A pocket full of new dreams

And I won’t ever let

Holes destroy my dreams
