It was just a little dream she’d stamped with just a kiss
That showed me all the happiness that people often miss
For though it’s all around us, most only see the foe
This little dream gave hope within that everyone should know

It showed the wake of morning when the birds began to sing
It showed the smile of earthly grace and joy that it would bring
It showed just how at self we laugh and why we shake our head
It showed how good it was to smile, to live and not be dead

I call them little miracles, which help us all survive
Which we can give and then receive to make us feel alive
The things that money cannot buy, a part that grows within
Where caring and then sharing builds foundations to begin

We take so much for granted, until it drifts away
Not realising just what we had and cherishing the day
We sometimes need to take the nudge to make us realise
That we’ve been given chances for the better or demise  

I think the dream a fairytale, just meant for one or two
But we might be the chosen who are blessed to live it through
This dream stamped with a little kiss, each night I seem to find
So there I search the angel who stamped kisses on my mind

And each day I remember more and try to live it through
Hoping that some others do the same things as I do
For life can be so wonderful, just take the doubt away
Then you can live within my dream and live it everyday

Hello Rick

Your words always flow so beautifully and this was an outstanding write.  I applaude your words which spoke so many truths.

is hidden the gate to eternity."

I'm anchored in you
