Joel T. Bailey

THE DREAMER

Lying alone at night
Dreaming big things
like living in mansions
And castles of kings

Traveling the world
Seeing beautiful sights
Like ancient ruins
And the Northern lights

Finding lost treasures
Of diamonds and gold
Discovering new lands
With the young and bold

Being a singer of songs
And a writer of rhyme
Crafting of things
That will last a life time

Having someone to hold
When the day is done
Being together forever
Two hearts as one

But dreams are just things
For the mind to do
The dreams of a dreamer
Seldom come true

The truth of it all
Brings tears to the eyes
The dreams live on
But the dreamer dies
