A dream for the furute |
My lips I could feel formed a definite smile as I woke It was due to a dream, a dream so warm and comforting It is a recurring dream, but an ever changing dream My dream locales vary; some are stark and bare without scenery The other sites are more flowing and magical The cast of characters in my dream are never the same Yet they are always vivid and real The dreams never bring me fear, only hope The dreams bring motivation and strength At the end of my dreams, I aspire to be a better person To tell those that I love how much they mean to me To hug those closest to me for time is never guaranteed To offer kindness where possible To understand the meaning of empathy The dreams spark a new found energy to conquer the world To make dreams come true and reach all goals The dreams remind me to live in the moment To find the joy with all that I have To share the electricity of life If I could but just hold on to this power each day My personal imperfections could not hold me back My dreams involve loved ones People that I have known and lost Friends that have touched my heart The cast appears in my dreams to offer comfort from worry Their appearance is to provide me support or remind me of undying love Hope in knowing the real reason for my aspirations These visions depict an indescribable beauty In these dreams, I can hold the hand of my mother I can know that she is safe and happy My mother and father in law appear together dancing as at our wedding With all the joy that heaven offers There is a woman that I considered my grandma, Heidi was her name She is always there with arms wide open Encircling the child version of me in the warmth of a hug I can see the sister of my childhood friend, taken too young She plays as she was, with the purity of a child There are generations of people that pass through my dreams Whether I ever met them or not, I know instantly who they are For they had a purpose in the person that I am I see Father Hartlein in these dreams gathered with many around His flock listening to his jokes and his voice resonates as he sings at the stable These dreams are an incredible experience of love The serenity and calm are inspiring moments for the living There is glory in knowing that though our time here is limited There is a place that waits, welcoming us on the next leg of our journey A journey so grand that it affords no ending Only hope, comfort, and love for those left behind This glorious eternity is a vision for which to strive If everyone could experience the beauty of such dreams The world would know how nice life can be and goodbye is only in this moment How if we wake each morning trying to share that smile Our loved ones will forever and always And even in our dreams know their worth I vow to live each day and always to know That if my time to visit others in their dreams comes The love I leave behind will also leave a smile on someone's lips |
