The Dreamer

Teresa Whitney

I may have been a dreamer,
But not any more,
It is the realness of his wonder,
Since he walked through that door,

Awesome is his smile,
Beautiful are his eyes,
lighting up the night,
Like diamonds in the sky,

Wondering where he is,
And when he shall return,
Knowing in my heart,
Lessons yet to learn,

I may have been a dreamer,
Forgive me God my sins,
This heart of mine,
You truly win.
