Other Lives.
It's wonderful the things achieved
While sound asleep in bed!
The dramas,comedies and schemes
Fulfilled inside your head...
Go to grand balls where you dance
The waltz,foxtrot and rumba,
And all the while this exercise
You're doing while you slumber.
It's amazing all the places you
Can visit while you're snoring!
Can sail an ocean in a yacht,
Tie up at any mooring.
Yet,as you struggle in the wind
To hoist the sail alone,
Tired feet aching,cold and wet...
You're warm and dry and prone!
It's truly great the things you see
With eyelids closed up tight!
Fields of flowers,trees flecked with sun,
Bright days that fill your night.
Can swim a river,catch a ball,
Or climb a rocky hill,
Or run a marathon and win...
And yet you're lying still!
Surprising what you can become
Without a thought or care!
A queen whose word is law,or else
A bankrupt in despair.
Reach to the heights,or plumb the depths,
Be hero of a team.
Oh,what a range of lives we live
At night-time when we dream!
