If I Am Dreaming Please Don't Wake Me

If this be a dream I see
If night and mind play tricks on me
Let me not from it awake
But further into sleep, please, take
If his whisper be unreal
Let not this heart, true sorrow feel
But ban me to my dreams to dwell
If daylight breaks our magic spell

Ruth,
   Is there a wedding eminent? This was the very type of touching straightforward work that I love. It was very sweet.

(sigh) Such a sweet beautiful poem from your beautiful heart, Ruth! Yes, sometimes I'm not sure if I'm wide-awake or dreaming myself. Excellent poem, my friend, thank you for sharing!

May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Ruth,

Dreams are so beautiful, I know, so it must be 1000 times more wonderful when you realize it ISN'T a dream! Best wishes to you, my friend.

Beautifully written Ruth ... I loved the flow of your words in this tender and loving dreamscape. Of course, it is all the more enchanting to know that this is a reality ... such wonderful feelings you've expressed!  

Best wishes and much happiness,

Hello hoot_owl_rn,

This is very nice, gave me a chill up and down the spine when I read it. Very touching, and tender.

Anyway I wish you and yours the best,today,tomorrow and for many years to come.
Very nicely written.
And congrats on your new life,love and friendship.

I know I too would feel the same way - Words can't express how very happy I am for you = (and a mite jealous) and the poem is beautifully expressed too ~G~

Hey, my long-time friend....

'tis not a dream, if I dream thus
but chance of we, to begin an us
and I will walk, and you will walk
through an avenue of forever talk
and come what be, come what may
I am thankful, we've come this way

Fortune is smiling on you, my dear...
