ALONG A COUNTRY ROAD

These things I might find strolling along a country road,

In my mind, I can create a day of reality along my way.

I see the sun rising in the early morning sky, and my day begins.

Dream do I of a perfect setting, fields and hills of beautiful color.

Nothing can go wrong, not in this made-up scene that I want to be,

I swim in a pond that appears along a country road, quiet and alone.

There is a wind blowing through the trees, across the field, I feel,

Hay stacks scattered in a country dream, a farm where I wish to be,

Along a country road, all possibilities unfold, from a dream, all that can be seen.
