Crying In A Dream

The little boy craves for love
He cries painfully in his dream
A dream he meets a butterfly and a white dove
Hovering above the sails of his boat

His heart torn to shreads
He cries as he prays to be heard
The butterfly and dove his only companions
As he struggles in the meadow of his life

His tears are torrents as he grows
With melodies and struggles in his nightmares
He grasps a white flower in his trembling hand
As he lay down besides the butterfly and the dove

Respond to my call and let the waves of my heart fill your life with the wonders of love
(Daniel J D)

I saw your name and had to reply.  This poem could have been written by me It's good to see you, Daniel, good to read the words you have.  Thanks for being a good friend.

Daniel, this one touches my heart and soul, as the boy cries out to be heard, to be understood. I am keeping this one, as it is so tender, and speaks of great love and compassion.

Daniel, this is such a sad tale, all too often true, I think.

(tears fall down my cheeks) Oh Daniel, I couldn't help but cry reading this, for I believe I too could have easily written these words, for I too have been a boy that was abused physically and emotionally before, and had no friends and would kill to ever be recognized and liked! (big hugggsssss) God Bless that sweet little boy, sweet freind, I pray that his loved ones will reach out to him and have his spirit soar like the butterfly and the dove! We all love you so much, sweet friend, my heart is with you always! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Daniel, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton
