Believe In Love

When I cast my thoughts to childhood days
I recall my often daydream ways
And how my mind was filled by dreams
Of flowers, sun and bubbling streams

A perfect love was always there
And precious moments we would share
Until I woke when morning came
Though at night I would return again

My dreams, I'm sure, were often fed
By fairytales my mother read
True love was often found to be
On pages that she read to me

For one so young I could believe
A love like that might be for me
But as I grew I came to find
The pain of life embraced my mind

I found with joy there're often tears
With laughter, sorrow; with hope came fears
And love the like of which I've dreamed
Did not exist, or so it seemed

In time, its sad, but I believed
The wrong that some folk told to me
Words they uttered countless times
They're just like that in nursery rhymes

In life such love can't really be
As good as childhood fantasy
But in the end my mind was bent
On love that could be heaven sent

I thought that somewhere there would be
A perfect love, my destiny
And quite by chance my love I've met
In and about on the internet

The love between us grew and grew
And now the fairytale has come true
And when I hold him in my arms
I wonder at his endless charms

I know now how it came to be
For in such dreams we both believe
And I've known him all the time it seems
He starred in all my childhood dreams

For those who don't know what to do
Just believe it and it can come true
