To Dream a While...


You closed your eyes to dream awhile
When Death had bid you sleep
And angels sang their lullabies
While I stayed here to weep.

And I wonder what you dream about
When Death has closed your eyes,
When all the essence of your soul
Floats on like butterflies?

Do you dream of silver things
That sparkle in your mind?
Like snowflakes swirl and dance beyond
The days you've left behind...

Are your dreams the gondoliers
To guide you further on
To deep blue seas of galaxies
That take you far beyond?

You closed your eyes to dream a while
Far from this earthly sod~
But woke to find an angel smiled
As you glimpsed the face of God...
