I Must Be Dreaming. Poem by Ross Mabey

Poem - I Must Be Dreaming.

By - Ross Mabey.

Some mothers will swell with pride,
When they hear this song.
While others will yearn for days,
When their men were strong.

When "integrity" and "honour",
Were words that we all knew,
And we didn't need a dictionary,
To understand the, words "it is true".

When words like you "lazy",
Weren't seen as as words of praise.
When people earned their pay.
For working honest days.

We used to believe,
What every politician had to say.
Words like "trust" were known,
And practised everyday.

There were times when "love" and "virtue",
Weren't concepts from the past.
Families were united,
And marriages used to last.

When mutual respect,
Was part of living life.
And words with "prejudice, "
Weren't used to create strife.

Perhaps you'll say I'm dreaming,
About the way thing were.
My mind is never scheming,
To get others to concur.

My agenda is a simple one,
Given reason to believe.
We can reshape a world,
Where we can live,
In peace and harmony.

Only in the hearts of man, can there be,
The desire, to make dreams, become a reality.
But if love can't bring us hope,
And if love can't bring us healing.
Then yes, I must be dreaming.
