I Can Dream

I Can Dream
I can dream of the day when I will be free
Free of the pain that consumes all of me
I can dream of the life that has gone by too fast
For now my dreams have come in last
Priority now has become my pain
I try to live, but all is in vain
The life I yearn for can be no more
For that part of me has closed its door
Those days of laughter have turned too sad
Happiness has now become second to mad
I can dance no more for it hurts too much
My pain is now my lifelong crutch
I can dream of the day when no more I fear
My eyes will laugh again and not shed a tear
My life may not be what I want it to be......
But still, I can dream.....
