Last night I woke

From a sound sleep

I was dreaming of you

—

Little hands, little feet

Small face, looking into my eyes

As you laughed and ran to me

—

Having fun

Playing with Pots and pans

On my kitchen floor

—

But when I woke

You were not there

I looked around and knew

—

I’ve missed those days

They disappeared with my dream

As miles and time separate us two.
