• Dreams

  A passing thought...a daydream....a wish......these are all that ive felt growing up as a child of a not so well off family.From the earliest memory's of Nan playing the newspaper bingo and if she won,too my mum promising me one day...i knew in my heart of hearts that this dream would someday come true.The days of standing in front of a large window,my breath against the glass, with 5 pence in my pocket,hungry and smoking a dog end roller,,,i felt even more empty handed when i had to leave.
  A conversation that could never end if i let it,and a deep admiration for those that have.
  A stop in my tracks no matter what,and even a nod when im walking to tell them,i will be there someday....honest...i will......
  The first realization that it actually could happen,that this could be,the terror of a test thats all too sobering.
  The long dark winter roads to meet an old freind that i have never met.And the family beside me like splints on a boneless leg.
  The cover thats pulled back to reveal every inch.The smell,the sounds that i now own.
  Without a doubt i have it,its right there.I can touch it,i can watch it,while the world sleeps we connect....we're as one we are,my old freind.
  And i think about that promise....that big win......and i thank them with a nod,a smile,and a wink.
  we journey into the unknown,across these Isles
  And ive since been back to that window..breath on the glass....roller in my hand,five pounds in my pocket..And as im pulled away by time, i can only leave behind a memory...
  its happened to me..yet...i still don't believe..
  I have my dream.........
