I dreamt last night

I Dreamt Last Night

I dreamt last night of riches
Of wealth and power and fame
I had far more than I needed
More if I wished to claim

My jet flew ‘cross the oceans
I spoke to Stars and Kings
I thought that I was happy
I owned Life’s Everythings.

This morning when I raised my head
From sleep’s warm, clinging hold
I saw the young sun shining
And realised my gold

Was swaddled in the bedclothes
Right there beside of me
A pleasure and a treasure
Worth more than fantasy

Twisted values that men strive for
Just to wonder when they gain
If the effort has been worth it,
Has the struggle been in vain.

I’m happy with the cards I’m dealt
With this hand I hold
My woman and my family
Are worth more than any gold
