Dream or Vision Lets see if I can put this into words with out sounding completly absurd Was this a dream or a vision Had I been aloud to cross some division Loved my Mother inlaw with all of my heart More like Mother and Daughter right from the start When her health started to fail Would do anything for her and let her know we all cared The time came,when death took her away I knew without doubt she was ready for this day I cried selfishly for I would miss her But rejoiced for her too, she no longer suffered Her boys tho now men Had a hard time copein She couldn't talk of death with them They would have none of it, they woudnt listen Tho I dont remember how long after her death I guess long enough to finally rest In a deep sleep I heard my name called When I opened my eyes I knew I couldn't be awake at all For there befor me was a young heathy women All happy and giddy like many years before she would have been She was holding my hand gesturing wide with the other "Can you believe it? Where I am? And look theres my mother." Never had I seen such color as this The feel of the surrounding was simply pure bliss Rolling green hills, sheer rock clifs Mountain rising from afar with a snow cover tip All at once I was in some kind of old barn I saw her mother knowing instantly she was Queen of this farm With out any words spoken she clearly let me know I couldn't touch anything here or I would have to go This was a hard task for in this barn I saw Hundreds of the softest bunnies with great big hudge paws Mom was still saying "Can you believe it? Look where I am" Almost running in happiness all the while holding my hand Its been Oh so many years ago that this took place But the memory hasn't faded not at all not a trace Knowing Mom as I did, I'm sure you'll think I'm crazed But to comfort me and pass the word I was shown her special place Sometime later I shared this story The Brothers thought it funny But they all refer to Mom now as Hangin out with all her bunnies Connie McDonald Copyright@2001 June 19, 2001 |

Connie, I believe it was a vision. I have had a few things such as this happen to me after loved ones have passed over. Interesting write. ~Hugs, Nancy~ ~Time has cast a spell on you, |

Connie, I am wondering if this was true, was it a dream? It sounds so wonderful, Like she was trying to tell you that she was ok, and not to worry. Lovely poem. floria Floria |
