A Fathers Dream
By Andrew
As I lay still and sound asleep,
I dreamed I heard my Father speak,
Unlike the thousand times before,
This time the dream seemed so much more,
The voice said, “Son, I’ve watched you age,
I’ve seen your life through every stage,
Though not full three score years and ten
Your soul must leave the world of men”.
I then reply,
“Though weary now, I long to stay,
So beg reprieve, for just one day,
Loved ones here must understand
My leaving comes at death’s command,
Then once alone so none may see,
I’ll shed a tear for what must be,
With goodbyes said and family blessed,
I’ll join you in eternal rest”,
With a start, I then awoke,
And saw the face of he that spoke,
Then vision fades and next appear,
Faces that I hold so dear,
My children still and sound asleep,
I understand and softly weep,
Through tears then whisper, “Don’t be sad”,
The choked reply “We’ll miss you Dad"
