I dreamed a dream one night...
I laid alone.
(No...deserted!)
Fitful slumber…
Mind full of others’ ideas.
I sought knowledge,
To put letters after my name.
And yet,
My heart
Did not want to be there.

The Glass Wall,
YOU on the other side.
(Funny how it is YOU now)
Dream woman,
Your fiery hair,
A halo around your head.
Beauty that took my breath.
The gasp that would become
A welcome part of my life.
Perfect woman.

Your bright, piercing eyes
Saw my every flaw.
And yet…
Your arms stretched eagerly
To hold me to you strong
Eyes closed tight,
In perfect peace.
But the wall was there...
I could not go,
But I did not care.

I was too young then.
(“Just a silly dream!”)
Did not know God,
As I know him now.
He waited…
Then He brought me
The fiery haired woman
Woman who took my breath.
Woman of my dream.
Perfect woman.

Your bright, piercing eyes
See my every flaw.
Your arms stretch out eagerly
To hold me to you strong.
Eyes closed tight,
In perfect peace,
Behind the glass wall…
