Dream Poem by Colin Ian Jeffery

I dreamed a dream
As a naïve boy in innocence
Seeing beyond the mountain I must climb
Finding a land of milk and honey
Where freedom reigns supreme
Love is not fable but life's strength.

I dreamed a dream
As a callow youth who lost his way
Wanting to understand God's magnificence
His love for the children of Adam
Seeing light within the darkness
Knowing faith is the shield against evil.

I dreamed a dream
As an old man finding God
Knowing his mercy, love and salvation
Following his footsteps from the cross
Into the shining light
Knowing it was the everlasting glory of Heaven.
