Doubtless Dreams

I dreamed of you last night-

And in the dream you told me

never to worry,

but always to fight.

You told me that I'm stronger than I know,

and that as time passed, I'd only grow.

You said for me to dry my tears,

and hold onto my fears,

because they'd push me to succeed 

over the years.

I felt as though I were really talking to you,

as though if I reached out and touched,

my touch would ring true.

But then you began to fade away,

as the sky grew dusky,

and the shadows turned gray.

I wasn't finished talking to you;

But as you left, one thing rang true...

I know now that you're always there,

even if I can't call you when I want,

you're with me everywhere.

Your earthly being is now a heavenly one,

and I know I'll see you again when this life is done.

I wish you'd come to me once again,

be it through dreams, or through angels,

just once again.

Time is but a mighty foe,

delivering blow after tremendous blow.

One day, we'll get to talk all day,

and walk together as time whiles away.

But until then, I'll hold onto that dream,

to remind me that nothing's ever as bad as it seems.
