if I am to dream
if I am to dream,
then let it be of sunkissed sands,
with oceans of shining blue,
and foaming surf of busy whiteness.
if I am to dream,
then let there be footsteps upon the beach,
small and perfect leading me hence,
a beautiful trail of anticipation.
if I am to dream,
then let your smiling eyes be waiting,
wise and understanding in their gaze,
a soft warm embrace to welcome me home.
if I am to dream,
then let us walk together in that sun,
of all things let us talk and laugh,
then let us close the dream-door behind and live here forever.
