In Spring I Dreamt of Summer's Sun

In spring I dreamt of summer's sun,
And all the things that I'd get done.
 
In summer I did dream of fall,
And lovely times we would have all.
 
In fall I dreamt of winter's due,
When rest and travel would come true.
 
And now that winter's finally here,
I dream of all the wasted years.
 
I dream of times we should have shared,
When all were still alive who cared.
 
I dreamed away my life it seems,
Instead of living it, I dreamed.
 
Longed for tomorrow every day,
And now I long for yesterday.
 
I wish I'd lived each day awake,
Left precious moments in my wake.
 
But wisdom comes too late I fear,
Too many dreams and wasted years.
