The Bluebird’s Dream

A bluebird came down from the sky
and perched beside my head.
He beckoned me to fly with him
and learn from all he said.

So to the skies he carried me,
the whole world his to see,
And only for the moment,
his dreams belonged to me.

One dream was for happiness,
another was for peace.
One was for security,
and one for pain to cease.

I knew his need for freedom,
I knew his need for love,
That pulled him from his humble nest
to tempt the skies above.

But then our flight was over,
I suddenly felt blind,
He would travel on his way,
and I’d be left behind!

“Wait, you can’t just leave me here,
I am not that strong.
Don’t you share your glory?
Can’t I come along?

I’ve never been so peaceful
as when I dreamed with you.
Tell me how to get there.
Show me what to do.”

“I’m glad you shared my dream” he said
“but if you’re truly free,
Then you’ll send me on my way,
that dream belonged to me.

And somewhere deep down in your soul
is one that’s meant for you.
Happiness is waiting,
if you can chase what’s true.

Millions more are waiting,
I’ll fly to them tonight.
I’ll share my dreams,
so send me off,
and wish me love and light.

The miles that stand between us
are smaller than they seem,
I’ll always be beside you
if you learn to chase your dreams.”
