Betty Bateson Poet Rhyme

My Vision

last night I had a vision
I dreamt about my son
he wrapped his arms around me
and said I love you mom

but he had died some time ago
so how could this be true
yet he stood right in front of me
with tender eyes so blue

he was tall and handsome
his smile lit up the room
he brought a ray of sunshine 
to take away the gloom

as I awakened from my dream
tears falling to the floor
I knew he came to tell me
Mom weep for me no more

CayCay Godwin February 5, 2017 at 9:38 AM Why in the world has no one commented? That is just plain wrong! When I clicked on this, I did so knowing I might cry for my only child is a son. Sure enough, your tender, maternal words effectively wet my eyes - but I angered (sorta) when I saw no comments. This is fine emotive writing, touching and beautiful in its ache. Please don't be discouraged. Read others - maybe that's it. All the best ... CayCay Betty Bateson February 6, 2017 at 12:24 PM Thank you for your kind words. My son died at age 11 and I had the dream several years later so got up and wrote this in the middle of the night. Strange how the mind works. Thanks again.
