Something hopeful and whimsical for your day.<\/em><\/p>\n

Dreams fly soft on owl\u2019s wings
\nBringing bright and shining things.
\nTreasures bright, adventures bold
\nFrom storms at sea to fairy gold.<\/p>\n

Feathers rustle in the wind
\nAs each delivered dream begins.
\nThen they wing on their way
\nAnother\u2019s job it is to stay.<\/p>\n

From house to house and home to home.
\nThe dreams are brought from where they roam
\nIn gladsome fields and forests deep
\nWhere adventures grow, fast asleep.<\/p>\n

So when you awake at break of day
\nAnd feel you\u2019ve been quite far away.
\nIf the sun is not quite up,
\nHurry then and take your cup.<\/p>\n

Hold it high above the window sill
\nAnd toast the owl who may be there still.
\nThen turn and go about your day
\nThe owl returns but will not stay.<\/p>\n
