Once Upon A Dream

A long time ago, lost deep in a dream
Running along a never ending stream
I came across a man grazing his sheep
Amazingly quiet, never making a peep
He startled when a branch broke under foot
Startled as he was, he stayed put
Lost was the look all over his face
So I decided to give him his space
As I began to slowly walk away
He called after me, begging to stay
I slowly turned to face him once more
As I did, my heart began to soar
I stood there quietly facing the man
Timidly he spoke, his name was Dan
I slowly moved closer one step at a time
Never saying a word, just like a mime
I sat beside him in the lush, green grass
Next to the stream, watching it pass
I pat the ground, inviting him it sit
All the while my stomach feeling like an empty pit
So nervous inside, don't know what to say
He smiles at me, my heart is at play
He sits down beside me, taking my hand
I see the look in his eyes, I understand
He asks my name, with a smile I tell
" My name is Randee" and with that I fell
Head over heels in love with the man
This I can say was never the plan
We sat in the field, watching his sheep
And suddenly I woke from my sleep
I sadly realize it was only a dream
