Searching For A Dream Poem by Janis Land Raymer

i've always believed
they told me u were there
that i'd know when i found u
romance would be in the air
u would sweep me off my feet
take me places i've never been
and hold my dreams in your hands
helping me fulfill them
you'd be my rock
my shelter
from life's storms
and frightening times
share my joys
and laughter, coloring within our lines
prince charming, romeo, cassanova
all rolled into one, you'd be
and no matter what or who came by
you'd only have eyes for me
now i know why they're called
fairy tales, pretend, and make believe
they're nothing more than lies told
to innocent kids who believe
why...why do they lie to children
setting them up for pain?
living their lives searching
for nothing more than a dream
