Dream Away

Last night you came to me in my dreams
I felt your little hand, I touched your face
I couldn’t believe you were here with me.

I thought god took you back home
False alarm, you was back in my arms
I held you close to my heart fearfully.

You even cracked your first smile
Your small fingers held my fingers
What a blessing to have you near to me.

Happiest moment of my life
Welcoming my baby girl to the world
As you opened your eyes and stared at me.

I couldn’t believe my eyes, such an angel
I watched you sleep, caressed your arms
So tearfully


I woke up the next day to reach for you
You already made it home 
God opened the gates so cheerfully.

I cry every night since you been gone
Everyone sees my sadness
I told them to bear with me.

It was love at first sight, the best
Love I ever felt. 
How could I lose someone so dear to me?

Dream Away is a beautifully written poem that conveys such an intensely sad voice, it feels autobiographical. You make the reader want to pray for both you and your little angel.
