Like a Little Gift From God

As the first hint of the sun rising from the east begins to tickle the window pane, you rouse from the edge of a very pleasant dream, while still lying in your bed, your head resting on a fluffy pillow, and covered with a warm blanket. The dream was of a happy time when treasured family and friends were still alive. You were all young and healthy and all together again. Laughing and loving as if life would never end. You try so hard to fight your eyelids, not wanting to let go of this very special dream. But you must rise from your bed to cope with what the day has in store, whether it be filled with joy or pain. You will make new memories that may, or may not, show up in another dream at another time, for that is the way of dreams. This dream may be gone but the warmth it left behind will remain with you throughout the day, like a little gift from God.
