The Dream
In my dreams I can fly like a bird.
I can breathe in space
and walk on the moon.
I can breathe underwater
and talk to the fish.
I can swing with the monkeys
and climb a tree.
I live underground
in the hot core of the earth.
Without getting burned
I can swim in lava.
I rule the seas
and own all its treasures.

My Only Dreams
In my dreams I have a golden heart.
In my dreams I’m the god of gods.
In my dreams I’m a hero.
In my dreams I can fly through the sky.
In my dreams I’m a beast.
In my dreams I’m in space.
In my dreams I’m the best.
In my dreams I’m a king.
In my dreams the world is mine!
In my dreams no one wins…
In my dreams I’m the only winner.

In My Dreams
In my dreams I’m a superhero.
In my dreams I fly.
In my dreams I’m a shark.
In my dreams I eat fish…
In my dreams money grows on trees.
In my dreams I drive.
In my dreams I never die.
In my dreams I’m a potato.
In my dreams I’m made of ice.
In my dreams cars can fly.
In my dreams I speak every language.
In my dreams I fly planes.

A Magical Dream
In my dreams I have a magical palace.
My parents are the king and queen.
My siblings and I are the princesses and princes.
I have a beautiful diamond tiara.
My mom has long golden hair.
My two sisters have shiny black hair.
My brothers are big and strong.
My dad’s hair blows in the wind.
He is strong enough to slay a dragon.
I go for a horseback ride every day.
The only thing is--I end up soaring in the wind.
It truly is a magical dream!
