In My Dreams Poem by Angela Wybrow

Sadly for me, we're not often near:
We only meet about twice a year.
But I think about her every day:
About the things she does and the things she says.

My feelings for her I find hard to hide;
Last night in my dreams, she was there by my side.
I felt the warmth of her skin on my own,
And for once in my life, I wasn't alone.

It was the gentleness of a mother's touch:
Something I long for so very much.
It felt as though I was really there.
Time with her, I so love to share.

She spoke to me in such gentle tones;
Care and encouragement to me was shown.
We were working together to make something sweet:
A rich chocolate cake - a tea-time treat.

In my life, she is a real guiding light -
Being beside her, it just felt so right.
The ambience around us felt so chilled;
To be in her company, I felt so thrilled.

But I awoke to discover it wasn't real:
Disappointed is how my heart feels.
To that sweet dream, I long to return,
And live the life for which my heart yearns.
