Clarence Billheimer Poet Rhyme

The Dreams

THE DREAMS

Last night I had another dream--
I have them often, so it seems.
But these dreams the devil gives
About the past life that I lived
Bother me the most, it seems--
Yet I know it’s just a dream.
I used to think that dreams I had
Were inner thoughts to do the bad
And so I really fought a lot
O’er all these dreams I often got.
Then I thought how my desires
Were no longer fed by fires
And plans and thoughts and cunning schemes
To make come true these awful dreams,
But now I hate these dreams and thoughts,
So I know what great work God’s wrought.
And I can come to Him in prayer
And leave those dreams I have all there.
For with His help I’ll not again
Make true those dreams and all their sin.
And now He has control, it seems;
I’m bothered less by all these dreams.
Some day I know I’ll dream no more
And I will dwell on heaven’s shore.
The best dream will come true up there:
I’ll be delivered from all my care.
