My Dreams Are Simple

I really like this poem. I was in tears by the time I reached the end. Again I'm sharing with you a little piece of my heart. Love is a human right and rights should never be put to a vote. But since they are if anyone lives in Maine, Maryland, Minnesota or Washington and are old enough to vote (or know someone old enough to vote) please vote to give others like me the right to love.

My Dreams Are Simple

My dreams are simple

My dreams are few

So easy to grant

Bring great joy if you do

I want to fall in love

Share our first kiss

Think of him always

Heart bursting with bliss

Get down on one knee

Propose sweetly and gently caress

And cry with laughter

When he says yes

Come the wedding day

Walk down the aisle

I love how his face

Is too small for his smile

My husband for life

My world is now perfect with you

Find a home, settle down

Raise a child or two

Wipe away their tears when they cry

Read them a story

Put them to bed

Sing them to sleep with a lullaby

Watch them grow

Watch them learn

As they explore the unknown

As they go off to uni

And raise children of their own

Then sit by the fire

My head in his lap

Him reading to me

As I begin to nap

 

And after a night of making love

Change the drenched sheets

Hold him close to my heart

Listen to him breathe whilst he sleeps

Grow old together

Look back on a life lived well

And mourn when my love is taken from me

Or me from him

Only time will tell

Yet these dreams remain beyond me

I am destined to remain alone

For my rights are held in chains

By people who want me to atone

“Somebody please think of the children”

“I believe in God and in Jesus”

“Your life would infringe on my religious liberties”

“I love you the way I love murderers”

All of these reasons are given

For why my love must be forbidden

Yet the real reason is to my eternal dismay
I make people uncomfortable by being gay
