She Saw It But

An angel came down and gave her a wink.
Astounded she did not know what to think
She saw it but she did not believe

A voice came clearly into her sleep mind
In her sleep state her Daddy she did find
She saw it but she did not believe

Are you going crazy? Are you quite mad?
Asked the apparition that was her dad.
She saw it but she did not believe

Eyes popped open and her heart beat wild
Dad was there. He said I love you child.
She saw it but she did not believe

But he could see that he had scared her now
He disappeared with a tiny sad bow
She saw it but she did not believe

She had just had a visitation dream
As smooth as silk and as tasty as cream
She saw it but she did not believe

So nicely written, Caren. Use of the refrain was too good. God bless you.

Thank you Pratap. This was a new "try" for a style.

wonderfully penned, i am not familiar with the form but the poem had a great rhythm to it...i have had people visit my dreams and it's like stepping out of your dreams to be with them for awhile...so vivid...

It is called a visitation dream, and it happens when people are grieving.

This has quite a rhythmic feel. Too often we don't believe what we see. Well done.
