I dreamt crazy dreams last night

of things I don’t want to happen

not for a long time

anyway

yet in my dreams it felt so real

losing you

too soon

and being strong

through it all

lest I embarrass you

from Heaven

but it hurt so much

felt 

so real

shaking hands at the visitation

crying at the funeral

with our children beside me

missing you too

I was so relieved

to realize

it was just a dream

and you are still here

to love in person

when I awoke

from another night

of crazy dreams
