A Dream
I remember it so clearly
Like it happened in real life
It was a dream I had
One cold and lonely night
I was in a room
Sad and alone
Until someone walked through
And told me to come home
I followed this strange person
Of whom I cannot name
To the place I call home
My mother was there, but my father was gone
They told me he had been lost
I did not understand what they were trying to say
And so I ran
Far far away
I heard them screaming
For me to come home
But I would not listen
Until I was alone
It was dark
I think it was midnight
When something grabbed my shoulder
And held on to me tight
It was my father
And he was okay
But now we were both lost
And starting to decay
Soon we could not move
And so we said our goodbyes
And that was the ending
To my small life
When I woke I was crying
And sweating on the floor
I could not understand
What I had just dreamed
And so I went on
Just another day
But I will never forget
What I had dreamed that day
