Take Some Time to Dream

1. Whenever you have trouble sleeping, 

take some time to dream

of things that will create  

within your heart a warm sunbeam,

like a charming COTTAGE 

with a garden of fresh flowers,

where you could stroll or sit relaxing 

peacefully for hours.

2. A luncheon with a friend

with dainty sandwiches and TEA

and pastries served on antique china 

would inspire me.

Thoughts that bring you happiness 

will fill your heart with song

and lighten up the load you carry 

as you stroll along.

3. Something that might bring you joy 

could be a sunny sky

adorned with a bright rainbow, 

as some birds fly gently by.

Perhaps a BOAT serenely floating 

on the water blue,

in gentle breeze and warming sun, 

is pleasurable to you.

4. Often we might find our minds 

are wandering about,

causing us to be distressed 

and filling us with doubt.

If we ponder, at those times, 

our fondest hopes and DREAMS,

our minds will be illumined,
imaging the lovely scenes.

5. We never should extinguish 

all the dreams we hold inside,

for on their wings our HOPE takes flight 

to where happiness abides.

Certain hours of the day 

though empty they may seem,

are really but a golden chance, 

to take some time to dream!
