Dreaming with God
Dedicated to a Girl name Scout who has stage 3 Leukemia, who is being taken care of at St. Jude… God Bless.
Mommy, last night I dreamt
I dreamt a dream of pure happiness
Which is unusual
Because I dream of Pain
The pain I get when I feel the presence
Of my silent killer
Last night that dream
I was with God
The world was bright
And white and yellow tulips were growing
I was singing and humming tunes with Him
God and I we were dancing
And he pointed to a butterfly
The butterfly was free and beautiful
I started following it
Thinking maybe I can be free too
Then God took me by my hand
God said “My child,
You can’t be a butterfly, yet.
You are just as beautiful,
So don’t fly away yet.
You still have chance,
You still have life
Burning deep in your soul
Don’t put it out too soon.”
When I woke up, Mommy
You were there
Your eyes puffy and red
And I told you Mommy,
“I still have a fire
Burning deep inside of my soul
And I cannot put it out to soon,
I still have a heart
And I still have a chance,
Because God told me so.”
