My dreams

I dreamed of diving in the deep sea,

Swim to the farthest corner,

To see the wondrous creatures beyond,

That live afar from human reach.  

I dreamed of climbing the mountains,

Fancied they would embrace me close,

And then gaze from the highest peak,

At forms of life that would seem like naught.

I dreamed of traveling to all places,

I dreamed of exploring the world,

I dreamed of dancing in the rain,

And I dreamed of singing at a concert.

But now my cold small feet are buried under,

My tiny hands, I cannot move,

The hands ma and pa held so delicately,

And assured that my dreams would come true.

It was the monsters with ugly guns,

“Why me?” I wished to ask but fell on the ground,

I closed my teary eyes with excruciating pain,

My dreams, they wrecked in a second, all my dreams.
