Once a day and sometimes more
You knock upon my daydreams door.
And I say warmly, “Come right in.

I’m glad you’re here with me again.”

Then we sit down and have a chat
Recalling this, discussing that
Until some task that I must do
Forces me away from you.

Reluctantly I say goodbye,
Smiling with a little sigh.
For though my daydreams bring you near
I wish that you were really here.

But what reality cannot change
My dreams and wishes can arrange.
And through my wishing you’ll be brought
To me each day; A happy thought.
