Dreams of puppies, kittens and big fluffy tails.
Colourful play hats with lacy face veils.
White or dark chocolate and ice cream cake
pink marshmallow and Gingerbread men to make.
Dreams of giggling playmates all having fun.
Hop scotch played in the shade from the sun.
Lemonade bought from a nearby stand
sweet and chilled, yet not too bland.
Dreams of the innocent with days by the shore
as yet she too young to know the real score.
The score of children sold on the street
cause it's the only way their family can eat.
Or fanatical's that kill in religions name
to give eternal glory, or so they claim.
Yes hatreds a word she's yet to be taught
so let her sleep peaceful within dreams pure thought.
