It Was Only a Dream |
By Kelly J. Gonzalez |
In memory of Alycia Coady Gonzalez September 21, 1986 |
As I go to sleep each night,
I spend a few moments with you. Talking to you as if you were here. Oh, how I wish that were true!! After I talk with you in my prayers, my mind quickly fills with thoughts as I reminisce about the dreams I had and the happiness your brief life brought. Now those dreams are shattered beyond any kind of repair. I ache for you so strongly, your death was so unfair! But after five years since I lost you, my dreams are of something new- my subconscious mind is awake at night bringing me images of you. Images of you in my empty arms but in this sweet dream I see your beautiful little eyes opening and your small face smiling at me. Suddenly I awaken with tears upon my face. This image of you alive and smiling my mind cannot erase. My precious Alycia, you were there so full of life, it seemed. I wish so deeply that it was true, but it was only a dream. |
