Dreaming My Dream  (revised 09/2011)

Child of God

You are a precious dream.

For all you do and touch,

teach and give of yourself,

Your heart is more precious

than the sun’s gold or summer’s rainbow.

And the love I have is revisited-

Falls in a deep calm, lives with serene sound or irreplaceable silence.

Child of God

I see you behind your smiles and tears

Whether released out of joy or deepest empathy.

You give me a chance to feel

A little more compassion

A little more innocence

A little more of me

that once was blind/out of touch

or afraid to see ‘cause I never felt worthy

or knew how deep that feeling lived within.

But you are a thousand moonlit nights,

And I basque in the silver tone of your gentle and simple love

That follows you wherever you go.

Child of God,

I may never be able to thank you enough for your grace

that opened my heart to such a sweet spirit.

And I realize now you are the child

 I always dreamed of and who I wanted to be.
