"Borrowed Dreams

Kitty cats and little mice, And pretty birds all around, Singing and dancing, To songs melodic. All this is around a beautiful  princess Dressed in blue And a sparkling crown. A movie so delightful Brings forth lovely dreams Of fanciful love And richness abound. No one can doubt What the mind wants. Every little girl Wishes about the same. In early days of innocence, Girls were taught things Of love and marriage And beautiful children three. To stray from this was thought a little terrible, But times change ever so And dreams become different. Most of us still hold to old fashion days gone by And we hold true to those old dreams. We watch old movies And become glass-eyed As we sing along with joy And grow fond of those we see. When the movie is over And the screen is dark, We still stare with wonder Of a life that could be. To dream a dream of fancy And all it's richness, But we do it just the same. We also know it's just  borrowed dreams. by Jann Newland ©February 2007
