Joining Me
Is this another dream
Or is it real?
Is it wishes or
Is it true?
Warmth, Comfort
Shelter, Peace
My little Hideaway?
Or something different?
Open my eyes
Peak a little
Surroundings are familiar yet
The place is different?
Open my eyes some more
Look around me
Start seeing what
Surrounds me
Same old tree, leaves are green
Still some birds singing along
Still the fluffy clouds
Flying along with the sun
Same green grass
That is soft underfoot
Same quiet corner of the world
Which is unnoticed by all
Yet something is different
Something has changed
Something is new
Something is better
I look around me
And then I see
It’s you who is new here
Who’s made a nice change
You’ve joined me in my Hideaway
When everyone else passes by
You sat down with me
And made my day
You stay with me
Through the day, in my Hideaway
Till when I leave and wake
From my dream
And there you are right by me
Telling me to wake up, giving me a gentle nudge
I wake up in your arms
Eyes looking up into yours
“It’s time to go, it’s time for class
Stop napping at school.
Hey, you seem happy
Tell me,” you say
And so I tell you
Of my Hideaway
And of how you joined me
And made my day.
