A CHILD'S DREAM

A CHILD'S DREAM

Close your eyes my little one,

There’s a wonderful place on the other side,

It’s thrilling and really exciting,

Just like a fairground ride.

Where the noisiest people,

Don’t make any sound,

And trees when they grow

Do so, upside down in the ground.

Children drive around in cars

And even fly airplanes,

There’s a heavenly scent of perfume,

Rising sweetly from the drains.

The graveyards are all empty,

Sickness and hospitals banned,

Nobody dies, nobody is ill

In this magical land.

There are rainbows at night,

You can read your book under the stars.

Even, pack a suitcase with sweets

And take a holiday on Mars.

You can see dragons fly,

Ride on horses with long wings.

Wear a golden crown on your head

And wear sparkling diamond rings.

Dress your self in armour

Battle with a dinosaur,

Then dance with a princess in a palace,

Upon a marbled floor.

Close your eyes little one

Enjoy your sweetest dream

Because in real life, some people are evil,

And they’re not quite what they seem.
