Dreams do come true

DREAMS DO COME TRUE

Yesterday we helped our son move into his new home
It made me think of our three children and the places they have roamed.

When they were born our first wish for each was a healthy, happy life
As a parent you want to keep them safe and shelter them from strife.

Then somewhere in the back of our minds where no one else could see
We dreamt of the life they would be leading and the people they would be.

For we knew what is best for them, at least this we believed
Until our vision was replaced by visions they conceived.

And we gladly shed our dreams for theirs- for let me now review
As our children grow up my friends…that is what parents do.

We ride along on their journey and the dreams that they pursue
Till one day we smile when we realize…our first dream has come true.

It’s nice to know they’re healthy and happy as they make their life’s dream ride
And now the only dream we harbor is that we’ll be by their side.
