Life is such frolicking in a cheeseburger dream
Sugar coated French fries and shakes with real cream
Surrounded by condiments as far as eyes see
Passing each one…cause mustard’s good for me.
To share real love and happiness with another
To feel the pain and satisfaction of a hard day’s work
To have peace of mind against all tomorrows
To dream and hope for the future
To generously love and give to family, friends…and others
To smile and laugh for no apparent reason
To look at the wonder of nature…and stare at nothing
To look at others and observe their grace and patience
To inwardly feel completely satisfied and content…just as I am
Cheeseburger dreams don’t come frequent enough
Too often sleep involves times that are rough
Tossing and turning makes for a short night
Waking finds darkness…the background of fright.
Reality knocks on the door of my bedroom
After my eyes drift off into deep sleep
Painting my mind, like a canvas, with colors
Images I hope my memory will keep
Minutes, like days, I relive precious moments
Feeling complete with my love from the past
Sharing our lives and enjoying a lifetime
Oh that this dream of reality could last
Wakened I find that I’ve entered a nightmare
Living a life that I know can’t exist
Walking a treadmill of anguish and loneliness
Thinking of all the reality I’ve missed.
Once again drifting to a far away land
There on the seashore…a cheeseburger stands
Life isn’t always the way that it seems
Especially when caught up…in cheeseburger dreams...
