God made me And God made you But you’re a dream killer, That’s just what you do You spare only nightmares You suppose they can stay They’re not quite as dangerous- Or that’s what you say You’re a killer of daydreams Those that sprout in the sun You shatter them swiftly Until there are none I’ve started to hide them- I’ll lock them away I’ll suture my mouth shut They won’t slip away For when I get loose-lipped Let dreams go astray- The cynics, they’ll drown them On dreamers, they prey There are those that are dreamers There are those that just kill If you choose not to daydream, I still certainly will The adventures, we seek For the journeys, we yearn We mustn’t escape them, They’re the way that we learn Hi everyone! I hope you are doing well. I have to say my original inspiration was Willy Wonka (my daughter loves the old version), but I see that the exact quote I was inspired by is in a poem by Arthur O’Shaughnessy. This is a silly little poem I wrote today out of frustration when discussing some plans with family members. I’m sure many people here can relate to this sentiment. I’m pretty far into my pregnancy so I understand my brain has, again, shrunk considerably (my vocabulary too lol), but I’ll never turn down an urge to write a little poem. It rarely happens in late pregnancy. :)
