I have a little dream
It whispers in the morning “please make time for me,
Just a little moment,
While you have a cup of tea.”
I make my dream a promise
“Let’s check in a two”
Then I go about my day,
Listing things to do.
It’s all so very busy
And soon enough it’s two.
My dream is right on time,
But I am nowhere to be seen
I remember I missed the meeting and think
I’ll show up at three
But then I have that thing,
So I don’t
I have a little dream,
It shouts in the evening
“Where were you?”
I say “I’m very sorry,
Tomorrow is anew.
Let’s arrange a meeting,
Just me and you
I’ll be there, let’s make before two.”
My dream says “will you really?
You’ve promised for a while.
I’ll only wait for so long,
Make some time,
Don’t let it pass you by.”
