My Little Dream By Larry Chadwick In memory of my daughter Ginger Michelle I’d like to dream a little dream, That would bring you back to me. And I need not change a thing, About the way things used to be. It’s just that I am missing you, And want you here with me. But if I could dream a little dream, It would be enough for me. My memories have not faded, And my love it has not waned. It’s just that now you’re gone, My life has really changed. So just let me dream a little dream, Of how things used to be; When I could hold you close, And say how much you mean to me. My heart is certainly broken, It needs patching at the seams. But I have the perfect cure, I’m going to dream a little dream. December 20, 2002 If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again.

My memories have not faded, And my love it has not waned. It’s just that now you’re gone, My life has really changed. =========================== The memories dont fade...and the love wont wane...but in time the pain lessens and the traces left behind hold us close and allow us to touch the warm...this I promise. The first holidays are hard..they mark time that seems to move so slow...but they also make us realize that we have so much to be grateful for as well.But then I know, you already know this my oh so wise poet pal. big heart-hugs to you and your family Larry. Merry Christmas wishes for you my gentle poet friend. |

Larry - What a touching poem and what a beautiful picture. It's like the Christmas song says, "if only in my dreams." I think most of us who have lost a loved one, dreams of being with them once again. You are a gentle, caring man, who has been through much. I wish you only pleasant dreams and blessings of the season. Chris "Hope" is the thing with feathers- |

Dearest Sue, And even more bunny hugs back to you. Thank you for sharing and I'm sorry about your Aunt Sue, even though it has been a long time. Peace and courage to you. Merry Christmas.  Noah, Thank you for always being so kind and tender. I am not writing much poetry lately. And when I do my heart is drawn to them both again. It is then that my emotions run deep. Rather nice to know how strong the bond inspite of the pain. Thanks. Vicky, Awww yes. My grandma and I were very close. Nice to recall such fond memories. Thank you. Merry Christmas. Sue, Thanks for your understanding. Hope you have a Merry Christmas. Sandpiper, So glad you are here...and thanks. If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again. |

And it is such a satisfying feeling to explore those emotions safely. Bless you and Merry Christmas. Kacy, Sis can't be an occasional option ya' know! You're my camelhair bikini babe to the end. Thanks for always being there. vandana, Thanks for your faithfulness and Merry Christmas. Chris, At least someone saw the picture. It wouldn't stay up so I removed. And bless you dear girl. Your kindness means so much to me. I wish you peace and hope. Merry Christmas. Zinser, Thank you so much. Merry Christmas. If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again. |

I can't improve on what JM said... I share the thoughts, but she phrased them better. *S* Wishing you a blessed Christmas... and a new year that fills your cup as fully with happiness as this year has done with sorrow. |

Days move quickly. Years even faster. Tears flow. Hugs glow. Smiles continue to light up a room. Right now the holidays are brimming and her classroom was glowing last friday. I could FEEL her in the room. Like she wanted us to know she was there. Memories are quick to mind. And Here we are and we'll soon see her too. Godbless her and may all have a merry christmas. Larry this poem was very sentimental. I was in tears reading it. You have been so positive in this trial of pain and sorrow. YOu deserve to dream more than a little dream. You should dream a gigantic dream. |

suthern, You sweet thing! I have no idea about the Christmas thing. I just know when I try to write poetry that is usually what comes out. I find the topic unworthy of fighting. Anyway, Merry Christmas and thank you for such kind thoughts. Martie, I know. Yet I thank you for such genuine understanding. Wishing you a very Merry Christmas. Peace and hope to you dear lady. If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again. |

Larry, I don't think I can put into words how I feel about this. I believe you already know. It has touched me deeply...Your love for Ginger shall never fade...keep those dreams alive. And if you ever need a good seamstress you know where to find me! Love you Cindi God is our inspiration; Words of the heart can be music to our ears |
