My Little Dream

 

I had a little dream…

Nothing much,

There’s not much to tell

It wasn’t as such.

 

I was walking up the driveway

Of my in-laws' home

When I saw my little girl

But not alone.

About three she was

At the time

And even at that age,

She was fine.

I asked her for a hug

And she reached up to me,

I didn’t lift her up

So, she hugged my knee.

I recall the laughter,

From that little queen

And that knee-high hug

In my little dream.

My dream was real

I dreamt it this morning,

For you daddies out there

Here’s the warning...

In a flash it was over

The dream was complete,

Now she is married

But she is still sweet!

She’s still my little dream

And always will be

Though much too tall

To hug my knee.
