Like grains of sand on bed linen

Or dust in your eye

The little thoughts keep me awake

Will I do well tomorrow?

Will I make a difference?

Or will I make a fool of myself?

My tired mind can’t calm itself



I have small dreams

Like flashes of heat lightning

Or the sun shining

On a quiet, docile, sea

I dream of you

Of seeing you smile once

Of taking you around

To all the special places

I’ve come to know



Foolish worries and foolish dreams

I know I’m nothing special

Getting older only reminds me

That I don’t have

Much to lose appearance wise

Which I guess is

Better than the only alternative



I’m a fool but today

Today I’ve tried the

Best I could to help

I’ve made people smile

Even when they’re in pain

And shown people kindness

Even when they’re anxious, scared

Let me dream this

Silly little dream just tonight

My heart has felt

So empty for so long

But tonight it feels

A little less weighted down

Let me dream of

Someone smiling and softly speaking

Of a kind soul

Hugging me tightly this evening

So i can sleep
