Dream of Someday

The hopes and dreams of forever love, as seen through the eyes of my former, idealistic, younger self.

While growing up I often dream of Someday--
the life I'll have, the woman I'll become.
I yearn and hope for things I think are simple.
I have no use for fame or flashy things;
I never picture wealth or fancy clothes.​
I dare to dream of Love, above all else--
the kind that warms cold nights and eases fears.
I do not need too much, I

​know for sure​

--
just one kindred soul to love with all my heart,
just one giving heart to love me back each day,
just one life to share with him through good and bad.

From

​L​

ove, I feel that all the rest will grow.
We'll work and make a

​modest,​

happy home--

​a ​

yard

, a little garden, and an apple tree,

And maybe a few chickens in the back.
One by one we'll build our happy family
with three or four or more delightful kids.
We'll rejoice, and we will name them from the Bible.
They'll look like both of us, and fill our hearts.
Above the kitchen sink will be a window

​,​

where
I'll watch them play, while washing dinner dishes.

​We'll sing and play and love and laugh together!

We'll go to church and fellowship with friends.​

​
I'll wake up early just to make his breakfast.​

​I'll greet him eagerly when he'd get home.​

​

I'll be comfort to him in his darkest hours.​

​I'll be there helping soothe his deepest wounds.

I'll do my best to ease his heavy burdens,

and take weight from his shoulders to my own.​

He'll be my world, my center, and my life.

I'll give him everything he wants and more.

​At night, strong arms will always pull me close.

​Our ​

truest love

​​

will fuel enduring passion,
Fulfilling and replenishing each other,
soft

​est​

whispers

​will ​

remind

​ us who we

​are​

while not forgetting who we ​

used to be.​

Author's Note

The original version ends darkly, on a more realistic tone. I thought a happy version might be nice, so here it is. Original, "Sadly, Someday" is here: http://www.writerscafe.org/writing/Ashfallen/1386841/
