If Only Life Could Be
As Beautiful As One Dreams Of It To Be
If Only Dreams Could Turn To Reality
As One Wants Them To Be
If Only Reality Could Be Acceptable To All
As One Hopes It To Be
If Only The Accepted Could Be
As Painless As One Expects It To Be
But The Truth Is
When Dreams And Reality Meet
The Dreams Are Shattered
Leaving Tearful Reality Behind
Which No One Wants It To Be
