Dreamy life

I’ve roamed the world with a restless soul
To horizons far and the end I’ve known
My youth I gave to reach the goal:
That dreamy life is deep in me though.

Dreamy life from the depth of my own
Is the heartfelt love of mom and dad
Wishing their kids to thrive forward
Kindness first, but solid like gold.

Dreamy life is the summer’s glow
Gilding the leaves from their green sole
While wondrous clouds drift far away
In open sky, the wind still blows.

Dreamy life holds many a care
Of grief and pain, but hope is there
Of love built on those dreams so fair
Of silent thoughts with empty air.

Is dreamy life the cosmos grand
Or my green home, the native land?
Where girls and boys, those hand in hand,
Did foolish things we’d do again.

The dreamy life is loveliest while
My sweetest girl, her eyes, her smile
In childish love, so pure, so wild
In my old school, for golden time.

Is dreamy life in a distant land
Or has stood by me since life began?
My heart and I solely understand:
“The dreamy life is here, again.”
