In My Dreams

You breathe, you live
I laugh, I smile
The pain is gone, gone.
Hope lifts me to my feet,
And takes me by the hand.
Joy dances with me,
Sings for me.

I wake and only memories live on,
Only memories.

By the way, "breath" in that context is spelt "breathe". Sorry for being padantic, it's a nice poem :)
