From the time you were a baby…all those nights we spent reading you a book
planting a kiss upon you head…
and before you closed your eyes…making sure there were no monsters
neath your bed.
We would pray each evening once you nodded off to sleep
for the heavens to keep you safe…and for your heart and soul to keep.
We hoped your dreams were happy…had you soaring through the sky
or sailing the ocean blue…
and while you were busy dreaming…we were busy dreaming too.
Dreaming that your life would be a fairy tale…
and all the dreams your heart was sending…
would begin with once upon a time…
and all have happy endings.
Knowing if one dream should fail…
we’d be there encouraging you to pick another dream…
with a hug, a shoulder to cry on, an ear to listen
and a bowl of your favorite ice cream
In all the years that have come and gone…
the older we all grew…
we never have…and never will…
stop hoping all your dreams come true.
Because wishing the best for our children…
wishing all there dreams come true
wishing for their health…their safety and their happiness…
Why…it’s just what parents do.
And no matter how old you get in life…
We will always be there to hear about your dreams
No matter where you travel…no matter what you do…
with a hug…
a shoulder to cry on…
an ear to listen….
and a bowl of your favorite ice cream too.
