I Like Dreamin’<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n When this cold callous world leaves me bruised with heartache<\/span><\/p>\n And memories of abuse leave me feeling like tarnished silver\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n When my mental upheaval turns me into a shoreless lake<\/span><\/p>\n And from my soulful eyes a currency of tears stream a river\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n All I need to do is lay myself down under the starry blanket of Night,<\/span><\/p>\n My gaze lingers on Adam\u2019s picture by my bedside, my heart\u2019s hero,<\/span><\/p>\n I know as sleep claims me once again with my true family I\u2019ll reunite,<\/span><\/p>\n I welcome a host of dreams to share my pillow.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n I like dreamin\u2019\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n About a ranch called the Ponderosa standing strong under a Sunset<\/span><\/p>\n Where Ben will warmly welcome me as a friend fresh off the trail,<\/span><\/p>\n I will not be rejected-not by Ben-under his care I feel like a rosette,<\/span><\/p>\n Finally my heart is allowed to quench its thirst on the purest friendship ale.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n He will show me his land that he worked so hard to own, his pride<\/span><\/p>\n Shines in every herd of cattle, and horses, so many horses I see,<\/span><\/p>\n I could ride for days and never come to the end of this vast countryside,<\/span><\/p>\n Ben\u2019s hospitality warms me as he teaches me the names of every tree.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n For so long rejected by my own blood family, my heart had an unquenchable thirst<\/span><\/p>\n To know what acceptance was-and love-I could only find in my hours as a dreamer<\/span><\/p>\n When my slumbers took me to find what I couldn\u2019t while awake, reality bursts<\/span><\/p>\n As I arrive at the door of the Cartwrights, my true family in every demeaner.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Little Joe will show me the color of the air they breathe, at last I realize<\/span><\/p>\n I have a friend in him, and Hoss will teach me the worth of country leisure,<\/span><\/p>\n The wide expanse of their friendship grows bigger with the Sunrise,<\/span><\/p>\n Their company gilds me with brotherly care, I never knew a greater treasure.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n But it was with Adam that my heart started to beat a new tune,<\/span><\/p>\n Always the perfect gentleman he showed me that I was good enough<\/span><\/p>\n As I was, he helped me with my chair at dinner-not too soon<\/span><\/p>\n As I suddenly felt faint, never before had I been shown such love.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n When Adam serenaded me by Moonlight his voice was a dear caress<\/span><\/p>\n Upon my bruised soul, there was no doubt that he was my knight,<\/span><\/p>\n His eyes-with just one look-complimented the curves of my dress,<\/span><\/p>\n I knew I would never be the same again as I felt myself ignite.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n They made me a part of their family this proud Cartwright clan,<\/span><\/p>\n Every night when I depart this indifferent world and escape into my head<\/span><\/p>\n I find refuge in familiar dreams that wear the loyal Cartwright brand,<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m not alone anymore\u201d, their bonanza of love to me has said.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n It\u2019s true, never stop believing<\/span><\/p>\n \u2026that I like dreamin\u2019.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Tags:\u00a0 dreaming, love<\/p>\n
