the boy that dreamed a dream
a futures life of dollar and cream
his thoughts were of good on this earth
no nasties lurking.. snakes unfurled

as teens took on toll.. the mighty hormones
kicked thus rebelled
yet dream was still right.. get in there
a futures bright light shone so in there l

twentys came and did fly and now his 30s dream decline
its still inside to see ..his dream of legends and the cream
infamous for family and few the boy no more
just part of the crew

in forty he worked hard to keep his family
dont fall apart
his dream of the cream was still there but now quite faded
his despair

when fifty he looked so much old
the work had taken him
ill heath unfold
and what was left of his dream
gone away ..ditch the cream

but what did he gain for his loss
love and family..freinds he could trust
his dream was of big and all knew
yet he had more
as family grew
