Amy

I had a dream last night...
I dreamed of an angel.

She had long golden blond hair...
and she was glowing with a radiance of which I have never seen.

I knew her name...
It was Amy.

I asked her if heaven was everything she had hoped.
She said, "More."

I asked her if she was happy.
She only smiled.

I asked her why she left us.
"As long as you love, and as long as you are loved you never truly leave for you live on in memories. Good-bye," She said.

Then, as she turned to leave...
I started to cry.

"Why do you cry?" She asked.
"You're leaving me again," I answered.

"Always remember that as long as you love God a good-bye does not last forever,"
As she finished saying this she wiped the tears from my eyes.

I awoke...
and I was content.
