Black Friday

In a land of more than plenty

We never seem to have enough

On a day of giving thanks 

We're always looking for more

And before the night is done

We will pitch our little tent

Wishing for the next big thing

They sell at the big box store

Dream

Sleepy streams into a misty sea

Fragile hearts held at the seams

What did you hope life would be

When the stars still gave us dreams

Down windy roads stretched ahead

That lead us to hopes and dreams

Of a life imagined in fairy tales 

And seen in shows and magazines

The city lights make a bright sky 

That light a midnight path this way

To memories that keep us hoping

For what we thought life would bring

The imagination of what could be

At times fall short of our reality

Dreams left to linger on and on

Waiting to be come to life again

In the mundane of our menial tasks

We keep to dreams we long to see

That give us hope for another day

To be where we've never been before
