Wilma Neels Poet Free verse

'my Field of Dreams'

In my field of dreams I see you 
Walking towards me 
With that smile on your face 
With promise and hope in your eyes

Somehow your reflection has gone dim
My hope at times too 

But 
Then I remember the life you lived 
 It was all about hope 
All about not giving up 
Never forgetting to smile 

That will always remain –
A bittersweet memory 

Times like tonight you are so close by 
Not physically 
But I can feel your breathe against my skin
I can feel the warmth of your touch 

It’s not in the things you said, 
It’s in the way you did them 

Even when I miss you 
The most 
Still, I am thankful 
I was blessed with you
Even if just for a little while
