Dream

By Priscilla Ahn

I was a little girl

alone in my little world

who dreamed of a little home for me

I played pretend between the trees

And fed my houseguests bark and leaves

And laughed in my pretty bed of green

I had a dream

That I could fly from the highest swing

I had a dream

Long walks in the dark

Through woods grown

Behind the park

I asked God who I’m s’posed to be

The stars smiled down on me,

God answered in silent reverie

I said a prayer and fell asleep

I had a dream

That I could fly from the highest tree,

I had a dream

Now I’m old and feeling grey

I don’t know what’s left to say

About this life I’m willing to leave

I lived it full and I lived it well,

There’s many tales I lived to tell

I’m ready now, I’m ready now

I’m ready now…

To fly from the highest wing

I had a dream
