I Dreamed A Dream Poem by tcr moon

I dreamed a dream
that other men
only dared to dream.

I walked the night
that other men
only feared to tread;

I sang the song
that other men
only could never hear.

I reached the stars
that other men
only looked from empty eyes...

...and I strode the path
that other men
had only seen in dreams;

I touched the moon
that other men
could only look upon

and swam the sea
that other men
would only sail across;

And as a child
that other men
had one grown from

I lived a life
that other men
had long forgot

and still I dream the dreams
like other men
who are the child that dreamed.

As years pass by and grey'd
like other men
I keep in my mem'ries

and like other men
I dream the dream
the world continues to sleep through...
