An Angel In My Dreams

I see you standing in the moonlight Across the prairie fields A stetson pulled down o'er your eyes A thoroughbred at your heels A shadow cast upon the ground Your silhouette I see Standing tall, alert and sure You seem to watch for me I stand in wait, you tip your hat And into the saddle slide As you close the distance in between A tear wells in my eye You've rode through streams and flatlands Crossed o'er the mountains steep You kept your word and came for me My heart is yours to keep We ride off into the moonlight Too perfect though, it seems It's then I wake and realize You're just an angel in my dreams

Bethany, I've not been very active lately and this poem of yours only serves to remind me how much I have missed your pen and paper creations... You nailed it with this one. I find my heart harboring a little jealousy... It's a great poem.... Love ya... Jake

I absolutely love your imagery in this piece, and you have many great verses throughout. The only thing you need to change is that when say "ore", in archaic wording, it should be "O'er". Other than that, this is a lovely piece that I enjoyed and am happy that it rhymes. Your rhyme scheme is pretty spot on for me. Kudos!
