Life's about the dreams

I was listening to my son sing "row row row your boat". I listened as he finished it as "life's about the dreams." I corrected him, I explained that the rhyme says "life is but a dream." He then explained that of course he knew the correct wording , but liked his more. My five year old went on the say, that he has tried other words in it's place. I was not aware that he had put so much thought into this. He said "I tried life's a bowl of dreams". Stating that he liked the symbolism he imagined singing it. He also had tried "life's a ball of dreams". "You know mommy like how people say it's a 'ball of fun.' Then finally coming to the conclusion that life is about the dreams. I know what that sentence meant to me, when I pondered longer on it. But I wanted to know if it was a deep of a meaning to him, as it seem to me. He said simply that there are two reasons. One being that I am always talking about following your dreams. ( which is what I thought it meant as well. ) though I didn't know he took it to heart. He added sweetly " My days start with my dreams and my days are my life." I asked 'don't your days end with dreams?' " no mommy they start with them! They are in my mind before I open my eyes. Sometimes I have bad dreams and I think about it all day. It sometimes makes my day seem bad. Or sometimes I have good dreams and my day starts good. Or I have a dream about something that's really happened and I have memories that day. But any ways that's how my day starts thinking about my dreams. So, silly mommy life's about the dreams." Simple as that, I now follow the philosophy of my five year old. I too believe, that life's about the dreams.
