When Dreams Come True


She counted butterflies through my eyes
Stood on her toes and; touched the skies
In one long breath, she gulped a cloud
And sang to the birds, clear and loud
She danced in the rain and climbed the trees
She peeped in the nest and hurt her knees
She wept and laughed, she could shout and scream
And cuddled on her bed with a lazy dream
She collected pebbles and milk white stars
Stored them in two transparent jars
Covered her memories in a foggy dawn
And greeted the day with a musical yawn

A weird dream I could never understand
Until they gave my “baby girl” in my hand!

  2. Congratulations! That's a beautiful poem indeed. We can almost think and EVEN DO everything that we wish and want to in our dreams! Your poem reminded me of princess fiona in the animated movie Shrek - one of my personal favourites! Keep up!
