    MY DREAM FOR US

             by Ron Dultz

I WISH OUR LOVE TO BE       

WISE ENOUGH

TO SOLVE ANY PROBLEMS

THAT MAY DEVELOP BETWEEN US.

I WISH OUR LOVE TO BE

UNUSUAL ENOUGH

TO MAKE US CURIOUS ABOUT

WHAT WILL HAPPEN NEXT.

I WISH OUR LOVE TO BE

SAFE ENOUGH

THAT IF WE DO WANDER

AWAY FROM IT,

WE CAN FEEL SECURE

THAT IT WILL STILL BE THERE

WHEN WE GET BACK.

I WISH OUR LOVE TO BE

UNDERSTANDING ENOUGH

THAT IT WILL NOT BECOME

DISCOURAGED WITH US

WHEN WE MAKE MISTAKES.

I WISH OUR LOVE TO BE

STRONG ENOUGH

THAT WE CAN LEAN ON IT

WHEN WE BECOME WEAK,

BUT FIRM ENOUGH

TO EXPECT US TO

LIVE UP TO OUR CAPABILITIES.

I WISH OUR LOVE TO BE

FLEXIBLE ENOUGH

TO ACCOMMODATE OUR CHANGING NEEDS.

I WISH OUR LOVE TO BE

COURAGEOUS ENOUGH

TO TAKE A RISK

IF TAKING A RISK

MIGHT IMPROVE OUR ABILITY

TO LOVE EACH OTHER

AND THE WORLD AROUND US.
