My Dream©

Next to reading, one of my favorite things to do is dream. I love both, because they expand my possibilities. Many great ideas have sprung forth from my dreams. There are many nights that I am sleeping, and a string of thoughts or an entire poem have come from my dreams. I find myself writing many of the things I dream about, because they are things that I want to attract to my life. A friend of mine asked me to write a deserve list. It's been very difficult for me to attain - or in some cases keep - certain successes in my life because I haven't always felt that I deserved it. By doing this list, it helps me to affirm the things that I want in my life - and most importantly, that I deserve to have in my life. I wrote "My Dream" long before I did a list, but it too defines the kind of man that I want in my life - again, that I deserve to have in my life.
What are you longing for in your life? Do you dream about anything? What are you doing to affirm what you want in your life? Do you feel you deserve it? You do deserve it. That is the thing you must know - you deserve it. And you deserve to have the love you want as well. It's not for just your friend or your brother, or your gorgeous co-worker who seems to always have a new man. You deserve it as well. Think about this as you read this poem, and then get out a sheet of paper and write your deserve list. Be bold about it, because guess what? You deserve it!


Closing my eyes
I dream about my prince charming
I dream of
strong arms to hold me tight
and shield me from the pain in this world
wonderful lips to kiss me passionately
and whisper endless love and life plans
a chest to lie on and ease my pain
shoulders to lift my spirits
skin like chocolate or caramel
a voice silky and confident
I'm dreaming of a man
a man's man
not a male
A man that I can dream with
cry and laugh with
a man I can love and trust
a man who gets me for who I am now, and who I will become
a man who can see past the worst of me, down to my spirit
a man who will stand his ground and cherish me
I'm dreaming of a man
I'm dreaming of you
of you
of you
I'm dreaming of you
