I had a dream the other day

I stood in a redforest and watched the children play

They danced with the food and climbed up the trees

And we had not to worry about them falling on there knees

I had never seen them as hungry as this

For when we began it was all bliss

They crackled and called all through the night

But soon dimmed to a low light

I soothed them all the way down

But by this time almost all were gone

I nelt next to one of the last

It seemed almost time for them to pass

I could not touch them for I would get burned

But all mothers knew that, we all had learned

I will see you again friend

For we must all come to an end.

But then I woke and began to say

This was all a dream I had the other day
