In Her Dreams

In Her Dreams

You can find her on an island in Hawaii

Up in the mountains where nobody should be

In Bangladesh, where people are starving and dying

Yet in reality, it's in her bed where she is lying

In her dreams, she can go anywhere

When we look, we find her there

Up in her bedroom, or down in her chair

These dreams can take, far away from there

Snow covering the house, has her drifting

Until her helpers have her, gently uplifting

Out of the snow, into the waking place

To a world, with less troubles to face

Yet there are places where she loves to go

Where it is warm and there is no snow

Dancing with Forrest in good old Hawaii

A place filled with love, to forever be

In San Francisco, but it's only a dream

Yet as real as it may seem

In her dreams, she can walk and dance

So she does, whenever she gets the chance

This is for my friend Mary. When she sleeps,

her dreams take her many places. She's a

dream traveler. When her eyes close, she is

off on another journey to another place.

Until she is awakened again.
