"Always Dreaming Of You"

Always dreaming of you
was once upon a time
when we were married
on a sunny day in May
below the willow tree,

like love birds in a row
with kisses to dream
a baby girl for you
and a boy for me
twins if you please.

Nine months later
your eyes shut closed
and cheeks so pale
I lay you down to lie
not knowing what to say,

to God in prayer
that he may listen
to me in tears -
“Are the twins o k
and will my wife live?”

Then a light from above
the Angels praying -
“Don’t be afraid
God is with you
your family will not die.”

My wife and I
and the children
often pray about that day
knowing that God was there
to keep us safe as a family.

Please remember
that once upon a time
my family almost died
but I had faith to pray
and if I had doubts
how would that have helped.
