When I Sleep, I Dream.

When I sleep

I dream of times of slumber

of careless banter

of carefree dancing.

I dream that butterflies are green

and pink birds sing.

I dream that forever really is forever

monsters are real

and so are we

I dream that butterfly kisses

can heal a wound

and the worst pain we will ever feel

is that of a baby's coo.

The sky is purple

and the air is warm

the breath of the angels

lulls my children to sleep.

I watch them

and know

that there is something great

that protects them

caresses them.

My children will do great things

and for this I perservere

and remain as childlike

as the angels will allow.
