Dream Poem by Jessie Mahoney Bathis

Walking on a dream
Floating above reality
Imagination roaming
Dreaming of better days
The world in my head
Happiness
Smiles
Laughter
Satisfaction
Ever after
No greed
No hatred
No war
For your family
For your friends
For your sister
Your father
Your brother
Your mother
Something to live for
A world for each other
Not for yourself
No poverty
No sickness
No disease
All these moments freeze
Freezing somewhere in time
Forgiven and forgotten
My world is free
Moments of bliss
Moments of men, woman and children safe
Nothing to hide from
No need to run
I am happy here
Happy here in my mind
Happy where the world is kind
Happy here within my head
Until I awake
And my dream is dead
