I dreamed a dream of far away ...

--by Mandie McDougal

I dreamed a dream of far away
where lilly laden angels play
And there you were
standing near a river
your feet covered with daisies...
And I wept
at the innocence in your breath
I reached out to you
your embrace ever so safe
eternity reached in
and whispered of time
ever reminding of love
and through the eyes of a child.
We stood in awe
and watched the world go by.
Yesterday's memory
and tommorow's dream
could never match the beauty
of this very moment.
The water trickeled smoothly
over our toes
and the light of love
and the beauty of peace shone through.
I captured every thought
as an imprint on my soul
a photograph that only
the heart can see.
And I touched your face
to wipe away the tear
that erupted from your ecstacy.
God was there
And He knew
And he told us, and we knew.
Then I drifted off to sleep, and
I dreamed a dream of far away
where lilly laden angels play.
