Reality

Plaintively I lay my head down each night
Hoping that in the darkness as sleep dawns
I dream, see your face, hear your voice
In the brief moments before the sun rises
We live a lifetime of lovely memories
Yet knowing when I do deign to wake
You'll be there in soul and in spirit
That my day will not be without you
But full of you, full of your words
Full of your eyes and smile and wit
And real memories created and lived
Shared this time in what has become
Our reality.
