The snake lay alone in the sand
As the birds floated in the sky
But since the snake had no wings
It was impossible for him to fly
A deer jumped over a log nearby
And a rabbit hopped to the stream
The snake knew he had no wings nor legs
But he also knew that he could dream
So their beside the babbling brook
The snake drifted off to sleep
For in his dreams he could run and fly
And have memories that he could keep
Many, many years came and went
But each and every day
The snake would slither to the sand
And let his dreams take him away
For isn't it better to have a dream
Even if only for a while
Especially when that dream you have
Somehow makes you smile
