Here’s one I wrote in 2013-seems to fit??
“I had a dream”
You probably know exactly what I mean
Yes , just like that Dr.Martin Luther King
we all have our dreams, but here’s the thing
Some will dream of things past
Others will dream of stones to cast
Children may dream of a new toy
Girls being girls will probably dream of a boy
Me, well I seem to dream of life gone by
Of things I’ve lost which sometimes cause me to cry
I’m not dreaming too much of things yet to come
’cause I’ve little control over my future, when all’s said & done
I do however try to dream of pleasant things
But frankly they’ll be about whatever the dream-maker brings
I really do however try to blank out all thoughts of ill,
But as you’ll know, dreams just come as zz’s will
They say that if your dreams you go tell’
They just won’t come true , but what the hell
My dreams of my life past I feel sometimes need to be told
And I’m the ‘dream teller’ , if I may be so bold
To my family I may tell of the past life I dream of at night
I tell them so they’ll know ‘me’, be it wrong or be it right
Obviously I hold some details back
But I tell nearly all, as mainly it’s nice & light, just occasionally black
‘And when I say ‘I had a dream’
Just like Dr. King, you’ll know what I mean
That dreams are there for all to share
But mostly only the good news not a nightmare
And as I get older, and Dreaming more in the days
I guess it’s just one of nature’s ways
of bringing back a life gone by
Even though sometimes it does bring that tear to my eye
So, it’s dream the dream for me, and perhaps for you sisters and brothers
But actually ‘living the dream ’ is now left to others
As we get older & sit here smiling, just like the cat who got the cream
We know that while others have yet to live it, we may have already lived ‘our dream’
