DREAM POEMS

Cindy G.

In my dreams I feel no pain.

In my dreams I see no pain.

In my dreams my tears are tears of joy.

I can fly like a bird
as far as neverland.

I can walk on the ocean
without having to swim.

I see no violence.

I see Spiderman.

In my dreams I can be four.

In my dreams the world will never end.
