Dreaming In Color

When I was a little girl oh so many years ago I liked to think I was like all the other little girls. I dreamed of what I would someday grow up to be, who I would someday marry, and where I would someday live! I had all sorts of visions, dreams and ideas of what life would be like. How many children would I have? Would I only have one, two or three? Where would I live? Next to the ocean, on another continent, in the mountains, or close to my family? Would the man who swept me off my feet be wealthy or poor? Would I dress in high fashion or denim?

One thing about my dreams was always the same. I would be married in a beautiful long red dress, carry a bouquet of red roses, and have a red feather in my hair. My lover would have a black tux with red tie and we would ride away in a white carriage with red bows on it, to a white mansion or cottage with a white picket fence around it.
Oh what dreams we dream when we are young. I did grow up to marry my lover and he wore no red tie, I wore no red dress, or carry a red bouquet and had no red feather in my hair. Even though I really really wanted to. We didn't ride away in a white horse drawn carriage covered in red bows and flowers. He did however take me to a white house with a partial white picket fence. I can't help but think someday, someday in the future when we renew our vows I will have some of those dreams come true, to go along with all the others that have already came true!



What were your dreams when you were young?
