Wow

Was it a dream if so, than what did it mean?
Was I asleep or did my faith take a leap?

I was in bed then I got out of bed to get a glass of water
I took a few sips and then I turned around quickly 
And there stood my daughter

“I was a little restless too” she said
I said “Well I’m going back to bed”

I walked back into my bedroom
Looked out my window 
And there was this beautiful full moon

I was intrigued by its glow
And I watched it as if I
Was watching a show

It kept getting bigger and bigger
Than it burst

It was like a piñata with gifts
Falling from the sky

Money was falling
Smiles were too 
Opportunity hugged all that reached out to it

And there was enough for many and more for a few

The sky was bright orange 
With diamonds as their light
The stars stood still
As the diamonds took flight

What a beautiful sight

I opened my window
And held out my hands
Believing what I held was

“Yes I can”

I held love
I held perfect peace

I saw a multitude of people 
Dancing in the streets

I had this smile on my face
That just wouldn’t go away

And when I awakened 
The next day

Peace whispered “I’m here to stay”
