I dream of a giant green grasshopper
clinging to tall weeds in Selma
Where huge fields of red clover
grew in the hot summer heat
I dream of Texas
where I made my first memories
And lived in a vastness for someone
of three seemed like eternity
I dream of the oceans of Florida
where waves made love to the sand
As I gazed across the horizon
life is forever in this land
I climbed the mountains of Washington
to the top of the snow covered peaks
I thrilled to the sight of the sunset
And felt the hand of God touch me
I dream of the tall grass prairies
I walked through in Kansas
Like a sea of grass rolling
in the winds of the Plains
My temporal eternity
lives on in my dreams
As I get older there is less life
And the more I do dream
For my last dreams
I dream of the future
May it be be as beautiful
as the eternity I leave

As I get older there is less life
And the more I do dream
For my last dreams
