No More Dreams

I think I saw a miracle… alive and walking free ~

My heat wants to believe it’s true; but, it can’t really ‘be’;

Yet, at the time, it seemed so real… and I could see your ‘smile’ –

and then I worke and knew that I had dreamed it all the while.

I tried so hared to sleep again; I tossed and turned and cried…

for that one precious moment ~ I felt you hadn’t died.

That tiny taste of Heaven… dissolved into the air ~

I had to sense all over… that you were never there.

Why do we lose the ones we love and have to carry on?

Why do we have to struggle ~ when you’re already gone?

I guess the answer lies somewhere… between our hearts and soul;

We feel the pain so strongly now ~ but, one day we will ‘know.’

Time on earth is measureed by each minute… every hour;

But those in Heaven live within a very different power.

They don’t feel loss or sorrow ~ there is no pain up there…

They get to keep the love they felt and feel us “everywhere.”

And so, till then, I’ll really try ~

To live by Faith … and not ask “Why?”

I’ll strive to look where God is ‘seen”…

until ~ I never have to dream.
