LIVING EVERY DREAM

LIVING EVERY DREAM

There are worlds yet undiscovered, sights unseen by you and me.
We have yet to sail to India and sample the cuisine.

There is vintage wine still left to taste, round sweet grapes cling to the vine.
We are Nature’s favored sons and for each rare treat there will be time.

So I’ll humor you and follow you, as far as human footsteps go,
To the far end of the moon, to the apex of the rainbow.

I will speak your name with gentle tone, with a reverent inflection,
And follow blindly where you lead, charting our direction.
So much of life untasted, its flowing waters sweet and pure.
Let’s drink our fill, for good or ill, arise and take the tour.

There are oceans yet to sail, cityscapes with wondrous views,
Autumn leaves on Vermont trees, so much left to see and do.

So take my hand and kiss my lips, the world is at our fingertips.
Let us answer God’s great call, to arise like kings before the Fall.
Like Adam and Steve in a dream of Eden, blessed by the Holy Spirit’s breath.
Before the hissing of the serpent, before the certainty of death.

We’ll conquer London, Ireland, Rome and arrive victorious back at home.
Reveling in these plans we’ve made, a joyous and a grand parade.
Two intrepid travelers, tumbling in their time machine,
Holding fast to a love that lasts, boldly living every dream.
