Someday....

"Someday"...she softly whispered,

Then tucked away her dreams;

Leaving them under her pillow,

Like fragile lacy things.

Left to rest there for the day,

While she goes to face the world;

Nestled sweetly in her bed,

Like angel wings unfurled.

"Someday when the time is right"...

She whispers with a smile;

"I'll unwrap all my pretty dreams,

But not yet for a while."

"I'll leave them wrapped in ribbon,

Pale pink roses --- bits of lace;

I'll keep them where no one can see,

His handsome, smiling face."

"Someday"...she whispers in the night

"I'll unwrap those dreams so dear;

For now I'll keep them in my heart,

Till I can hold him near."
