In My Dreams

1996




In my dreams
My secrets would be yours
Left behind in a dish
For you to take quietly
While I went about my chores.

In my dreams
My hurts are seen
Only briefly
As I tossed them into the trash.

In my dreams
I kept you safe from my fears
AS I held you
And knew our love.

In my dreams
All was a new beginning
A future
New treasures to find...
Life.
