Angel Sent

Often when we’re dreaming,
In our bed beneath the stars,
We find that special place,
That makes us who we are.

For in our dreams we find that pain,
The one, we’d never speak aloud.
We also find our loved ones,
Who’ve always made us proud.

In our dreams we find that person,
We never asked to dance.
But, here the music never stops,
And we get another chance.

In our minds there is a darkness
That finds us now and then.
It comes to us in dream,
And by day is gone again.

At times we dream of flying,
Or sailing on the sea.
The sweetest dreams we dream,
Might be of things we’ll never see.

Last night I had a dream.
And, dreams like this are few.
I dreamed I kissed an angel.
I dreamed of kissing you.

It was ‘neath the fullest moon,
And the stars were very bright.
You came to me from heaven,
An angel of the light.

At first I could not see you.
I did not dare to try.
I could not have you look at me.
You’ve never seen me cry.

But then I felt you touch me.
It was the warmest kind of touch.
It was everything I feel for you.
It’s why I love you so very much.

Then, I slowly turned to you.
I heard you speak my name.
My heart jumped from my chest,
I’ll never be the same.

How can I describe it?
My God, you spoke to me!
You came to me from heaven,
And you said these words to me.

"I love you and I miss you,
And I’m sorry that I’m gone.
But, my time on earth has ended,
Like the night ends for the dawn."

You said “It’s true my life is over,
But your life isn’t quite.
Live for me my love,
Then meet me in the light.”

You reached for me and kissed me,
And slowly turned away.
You faded in the darkness,
And I awoke to find the day.

It seemed strange to be awake.
Something wasn’t right,
I took the whole damn bottle,
When I went to sleep last night.

Slow I remembered,
It became so very clear.
And for the briefest moment,
I could almost feel you near.

Often when we’re dreaming,
In our beds beneath the stars,
We find that special place,
And it changes who we are.

I will live for you…
