Bright pics in my imagination
Are quite a typical thing.
However there is an exception
That my nightdreams seldom bring.
Once dreams, as usual, started flocking
In my unwearying head...
I saw you met me, starting talking,
I saw you were in my land!
I hope this dream's a special token,
I hope that it will come true.
All words that I have just now spoken
Are of course only for you!
Today I'm springing in elation,
I feel I'm given a wing!
I can't express all admiration
That's being now my soul's king!
Oh, let the world be full of fairies
Like you! Thanks for your great deeds!
I feel I can reap purple berries
Oh, thanks for your purple seeds!
I hope your life will never hurt you
Because your soul is so kind!
God bless you, Cassidy! Your virtue
Will always stay in my mind!
Had I more quickly realized just who they were,
I would have shown them more respect.
Had I tried harder to fathom their brilliant minds,
I would have taken more of their teachings to heart.
Had I more clearly understood the purpose of their being,
I would have more vigorously tried to assist them.
They were truly honorable; I was sadly prejudiced.
They were well informed; I was grossly ignorant.
They were totally unwearying; I quickly, gave up.
Have an Heavenly Anniversary
And know that I am finally getting it.
Love & Respect
your daughter
