My Dream

Have you ever dreamt of something, imagined something for such a long time that, though it once seemed so real and vivid, over time you became convinced it must truly be nothing more than a dream, an impossible vision, an unreachable goal, an unattainable ideal? And then you settled for something so far from your dream, even when you knew deep down it would never be to you all that you longed for, hoped for, needed.

And then what if life suddenly surprised you and presented you with the very thing you thought you'd never have, that you never looked for because you believed it was not there for you to find? What if it turned out to not only be all that you had dreamt and hoped for, but even more, infinitely more wonderful? What if discovering it made you realize you had been sleeping, but now were finally awake, and what you thought was just a forgotten dream was now a reality?

Wouldn't that be beautiful, amazing, incredibly fulfilling - a treasure and a blessing you would never, ever want to give up?



My Dream

Once I had a dream
of a love yet unknown
but only imagined -
and I was alone.


I saw it so clearly
and felt with my soul
that with such a love
I might become whole.


I've walked through my life
simply making do
with a shadow of the love
I discovered with you.


I finally awoke
and the dream has come true -
my soul is complete
for it has found you.


And you are more real,
your love is more true
than all of the dreams
I once had of you.


My heart has now found
what was missing so long -
you forever will be
my joy and my song!
