Love's Dream

If I could spend another day alive,

I’d run to you and tell you how I feel.

Saying without your love I can’t survive,

And I’d kneel down before you with appeal.

The ring would sparkle in the evening light,

As I presented you with my whole life.

Just as daytime faded into midnight,

You’d tell me yes, that you would be my wife.

That night would turn into a lifetime’s love,

With you beside me wherever I went.

I’d be your hawk, and you, my all above,

In our sweet lives God lent his supplement.

     But only in a dream did that occur,
     For I have left that life a hazy blur.
