Poem I wrote shortly after my Grandmother passed away. Based on a dream I had.
Sweet Dreams

In my dreams you talk to me
Through my mind you’re back in this place
I can feel you just inches away
Even though I can’t see you face to face
I remember the good times
And all the fun we had
Those days are over now
But I will not be sad
For when you visit me
In the dead of night
You tell me not to worry
That you’re doing all right
Reunited with loved ones
No more pain and suffering
Youthfulness and happiness
Are yours for the taking
As dawn draws near
You lean in close and smile
Whisper in my ear
‘I’ll be back in a while’
With a kiss on my cheek
And a warm loving embrace
Hand in hand with Grandpa you fade away
Into the light of your final resting place
And when I awake knowing you’re fine
My heart is at ease
For I will always love you Nana
God bless you and rest in peace

Dedicated to Helen Habenicht, The best grandmother a person could have.
