Wishes and Dreams.

I want to sip the summer showers,
to fill a room with fairy cakes,
sit neck deep in a field of flowers,
and dip my toes in sparkling lakes.

But I know, when I sleep tonight
my dreams aren't going to come out right.

I'll sit and sip a field of flowers,
my toes dipped into fairy cakes,
my room will fill with summer showers
while I'm neck deep in sparkling lakes.

Oh, Kath, I love this...from the delicious dream of the opening stanza, to the warning of the middle couplet to the whimsical wit of the closing verse. You just keep getting better!! :)
