Only in Dreams

All our problems lay behind us
All adjustments and our fears.
You were part of my own being
After more than twenty years.

Then God chose to take you from me;
The reason is unclear to me.
I only know I lost my sweetheart
Who was more than dear to me.

Now it's only in my dream time,
That once more you love me more
Than the stars in Heaven's archway
Or the sands upon the shore.

You release me to the daylight
And the duties of the day;
Until once more we're together,
When in dreams we find the way.

Very good write.  It speaks great words that eveyone who has lost someone should hear.  You will see them in your dreams until, if you believe in faith, you will once again see them after you wake up from this dream called life, and awaken to the afterlife.  I believe this quote from one of Edgar Allan Poe's poems would also emphasize my point on what life is when you are dreaming for someone you lost or are dreaming about something you are having trouble with.


All that we see or seem
Is but a dream within a dream.

"A Dream Within A Dream"

Joyce:  Very tender write and I guess we are lucky we still have dreams when love is gone!

I will see you in your dreams my Nana told me when I was Ten. She passed in 1968 and she still comes to me in my dreams when I need that extra hugand reassuring.

I’m sure that your sweetheart still, and always will love you. During your nightly slumber and, every other waking hour, of the day...


Sweet Dreams Joyce,

Richy

perfect expression of love ..... so sad i enjoyed these words so much as i feel they are so true for many people who have lost their loved ones

You release me to the daylight
And the duties of the day;
Until once more we're together,
When in dreams we find the way.
hugs from june x
