I woke this morning feeling lost and afraid Dreamy eyes, clouds, storms, and shade I rose from my slumber and wondered Is today going to be the day I pondered Scary dreams fill my mind and tear at my heart Is it now that my changed life is to start I look at my phone and wonder, should I call Then think to myself, not one single ring at all I'm sleepy and worn from last night's dream storms I pull my feet up from the floor, curl into a ball, and return to the land of Nods Exhausted from the constant dread and fear Only dreaming of always having you near I know someday you will go to Our forever home Live freely and painlessly, with family and friends you will roam You'll walk the heavenly streets of God's Kingdom I know, in my heart, it's from there you'll keep watch and send your love In my slumber, I can see how happy you will be I smile and know that someday that will be me I cry in my dreamworld because I know I won't have you to hold and hear But in my heart and soul, I know you will always be near. Again I wake from the land of dreams To the sound of my phone and know I will hear Your beautiful voice that I've longed for all day I listen and chatter just to hear what you have to say I hang up the phone, look at my watch and think to myself A little bit more time, back to dreamland, time's shelf Just another day One Day Lost.....

One Day Lost
I woke this morning feeling lost and afraid Dreamy eyes, clouds, storms, and shade I rose from my slumber and wondered Is today going to be the day I pondered Scary dreams fill my mind and tear at my heart Is it now that my changed life is to start I look at my phone and wonder, should I call Then think to myself, not one single ring at all I'm sleepy and worn from last night's dream storms I pull my feet up from the floor, curl into a ball, and return to the land of Nods Exhausted from the constant dread and fear Only dreaming of always having you near I know someday you will go to Our forever home Live freely and painlessly, with family and friends you will roam You'll walk the heavenly streets of God's Kingdom I know, in my heart, it's from there you'll keep watch and send your love In my slumber, I can see how happy you will be I smile and know that someday that will be me I cry in my dreamworld because I know I won't have you to hold and hear But in my heart and soul, I know you will always be near. Again I wake from the land of dreams To the sound of my phone and know I will hear Your beautiful voice that I've longed for all day I listen and chatter just to hear what you have to say I hang up the phone, look at my watch and think to myself A little bit more time, back to dreamland, time's shelf Just another day One Day Lost.....
This poem is about my Mother. She is slowly in the process of dying and I feel like this everyday. I will miss her so much.
