Why are you so hard on me? Are you punishing me because you think I don’t do enough? I try my best. I give as much as I can. Do you regret the way you brought me up? You can’t blame me for that. And you should see me in a different light sometimes. Not always the stale servant of social expectations. The three words in your dictionary I am not going to learn; accountant, doctor, lawyer. I am not going to be a puppet of money.

Pocketful of Dreams
June 4, 2009 · Leave a Comment
Johnny’s got a pocketful of dreams -
it’s patched and there are cakecrumbs in the seams -
to you it may not be a lot
but all the treasure Johnny’s got,
he carries in his pocketful of dreams -
a beetle in a match box, a tiny piece of string,
some sealing wax and carpet tacks,
a bell that doesn’t ring -
When Johnny grows up to be a man,
into a world that’s tough,
he’ll soon be told his pocketful of dreams
won’t be enough -
but if he owns a great big car,
a swimming pool and yacht,
he’ll never be as happy
as the time when all he’s got
is a beetle in a match box, a tiny piece of string,
some sealing wax and carpet tacks,
a bell that doesn’t ring…..
