My Dream I had a wonderful dream last night The golden gate was opened wide There was an angel that looked like my mother Then before my eyes was that my Five sisters and my brother The lady looked so very young Around her shoulders white wings were hung Her blue eyes were more pretty than I'd ever seen She said, "come on my daughter "fly" don't just dream The words I heard made me shiver and cry Is this like she talked of.... the sweet by and by Mother was among an angel's band and How she sparkled and gleamed This is what I saw in My Dream Smiley faces of beautiful people were there They had no fears and no problems like down here We have broken spirits, and weary, confused minds In my dream I saw love and faces of every kind She showed me her room in this awesome place How glorious it was to see my family again In a place with only sunshine... light and no heavy rains Could it all be so pretty Where no one feared or had self pity We'll never grow old, and will sparkle with love It came from God, who awaits in heaven above I saw a crown on God's head That said Jesus, my Son died for you and bled I'm gonna store up all my hopes and dreams Just like my Father who has no schemes For  to have no night... just day Come for me, call me soon I pray It's a place where I want to forever stay Call me Lord... as in my dream To my home you've made for me Where I'll have joy, love and always see As I'm so close to You Lord, and you've set me free   Wouldn't it be great if all dreams were like this one I will have them, when the victory is at last won Cause we'd not wander into  the past night But glitter and shine in the clear bright light Have no sorrows or blues in our heart The next time I dream I pray it's for real This deep in my heart and soul I feel That God is calling me away from this earth Where I'll be happy, well and much self-worth So I'll work harder and more sincere So I'll be ready to see my mother and FATHER dear   I'm anxious to go to bed tonight My head spins and I feel light... headed Come on dreams... need more like this one All day long into the setting of sun Written By Shirley Updike November 12, 2004 ©2004 All Rights Reserved
