A Smile Kept

I had a dream today when I was awake.... Saw an old friend with nothing at stake.... Said words we never could get out before.... Times have changed and so closed the door.... But a smile came back with some piece of mind.... And some old wounds have healed that were not kind.... Got a chance to remember without all the pain.... And so our lives have missed ,we both changed lanes.... I hope the smile is for you too, and a peaceful sleep.... So glad this dream came today, and a smile I could keep...

Definitely a favorite for me, Michael! Whenever you are able to make amends and restore a friendship, it is like a (day)dream come true! I was thinking about this very topic earlier today. Awesome! Love, Carolyn
