Livin' the Dream

Livin' the Dream

A Poem by Jennie Baron
"

This is from my book and based on a partial lyric a songwriter character came up with. I tried to flesh it out and the goal was to make it still sound like a song.

"

You know I’ve dreamed half my life away

And crashed hard when the fantasy

Didn’t turn out like I hoped it’d be

 

But those times seem so far behind me

Since good fortune seemed to find me.

Always wanted to share my dreams with someone

Never thought I would till now.

 

Without love my other dreams had no meaning

Now I thank Heaven that we dream together

I’m still a dreamer but reality’s so much better with you

Baby let’s keep livin’ the dream forever.

 

Love and romance were always elusive

And maybe now I know why.

Fate simply had other plans for me.

 

Before your love I was alone and uninspired.

On my own, disillusioned in every endeavor.

I’m still a dreamer but reality’s better than a dream with you

Baby let’s keep livin’ this dream forever.

How I can relate to this! Seems like the stanzas below are excerpts from my diary.

A beautiful, romantic, and hopeful song. I wish I could listen to the melody...

I agree with you and you're most welcome
I thought this was good considering it is only a rough draft! I really like the romance behind it; the thankful heart that is writing it.

Sometimes in life we lose someone we completely gave our heart to wondering why in the world they left or were taken from us. Later in life when we do find that perfect someone we realize why it never worked out with anyone else and our life finally falls into the place it was supposed to end up all along.

This was a beautiful write and I really don't have any critiques for you with how you have it right now.
