In My Dreams
As I walked along the beach today
My eyes drawn to the sand
A precious stone gleamed at me
Perched on a golden band
I looked around this early morn
But no one was in sight
No soul to claim this treasure trove
And so I thought I might
As I pluck it from the surf
My fortune seemed complete
So I strolled up to a mound of sand
And there I took a seat
That's when I held it in my hand
And rolled it to and fro
As the Sun lit up the gold
And made the Diamond glow
It was then as if a shadow came
and covered my delight
To think my gain was someones loss
It didn't seem quiet right
I did not know the reasons
It wasn't on Her hand
Or how it came to be, to me
Half hidden in the sand
But when I stood, and turned for home
I saw Her standing still
With hand out stretched and fingers spread
She softly said " I will "
