Dream A Dream Poem by Danny Speicher

Dream a dream of the light waiting to shine
Just beyond the storm clouds inside your mind
Dream a dream of the hope that awaits you
When you see all the good that turned out true

Dream a dream of all the goals you once had
Long before life went so dark and so bad
Dream a dream of the life that awaits you
Once the pain ends and peace fades into view

Take my hand and let me walk alongside
I promise that I won't hasten your stride
Let me watch you walk into love from fear
Please keep my heart close and let it draw near
As all of the lies fade, that once you thought so true
And potential you now see; becomes life anew

Dream a dream of dawn; oh how life abounds
And sadness ceases; no more hurtful sounds
Dream a dream of true love and respect
A man who is there and never neglects

And while you dream these dreams in your stillness
Take confidence in them when you do speak
Do not believe falsehoods that you are weak
Your healing is greater than the illness

Take my hand and let me walk alongside
I promise that I won't hasten your stride
Let me watch you walk into love from fear
Please keep my heart close and let it draw near
As all of the lies fade, that once you thought so true
And potential you now see; becomes life anew

Dream a dream of the legacy you'll leave
When life comes to a close upon death's eve
Dream a dream of the lives your life will touch
And, those who you loved, will, you, forever clutch
As all of the lies fade, that once you thought so true
And potential you now see; becomes life anew
