Gift of Dream

Just one short moment
Before he’s turning away
Can’t you stay longer
Don’t you know how we miss you
Yes Mama... I miss you too

I'm sure dreams of your son make you feel closer to him for a brief spell, but the loneliness when he turns away must be terrible, Joyce. When I dream of those special people who have left my life, I wake up wishing I had continued dreaming. Very moving entry for Michael's contest, dear friend, and I wish you success! Love, Carolyn
