I had a dream last night

By Butterfly214

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

I had a dream last night, at about a quarter after eleven. I had a dream last night, and took a trip to heaven. I saw you standing there, you were close enough to touch. I saw your smiling face, I miss you so much. I know you must be happy, playing football in the sky, but it still makes me wonder why young ones have to die. If you were still here, how would things be? Would we know we could have lost you? Would we take time to see, that the ones we love today, could be gone tomorrow, leaving us all alone, filled with lots of sorrow. If I could do it over, and you were here today, I would tell you how much you mean to me, and how sad I would be if you went away. To give you the message, I could send a bird up to the sky, to tell you that I'm sorry I let the time we had pass us by. Cherish the time you have with friends, for the future is unknown. Then they will know how much they mean to you, when it's their time to go home. Written October 25th, 2001 © on Oct 25 2001 10:43 AM PST, Sara P.   0 • 1
