Poem: I Look To You, For the Future

A little boy with dreams i was
Nightly did i close my eyes
And let my mind bring fantasies
To gently slide me in blissful sleep
Of future days, i smiled & dreamt
Pictures sliding in & out
Nightly thus, my ritual was
My own fantastic lullaby

A young man now, i am, with dreams
With greater scope and wider means
Drawing on imagination's themes
Elaborate paintings on mental canvas
I see your face and hear you laugh
I see the love shining in your eyes
That special look you have just for me
When i hold you in my dreams

And time passes slowly till that day
When i'll hold you in my arms
Tickle you and whisper in your ears
See, i already named you as my joy
You, my hope & life, my wings &.... I...
I just wait for that day
My pride, my strength,
My first-born... My Daughter...
