I had a wonderful dream a moment ago
Aaron and I traveled down a
fresh graded dirt road
It was beautiful as we held
hands and walked
Suddenly he let go as a
friend yelled and talked
Separated for just a moment
by a machine
Aaron was gone and not seen
As I looked for him with fear
in my heart
Around a beam he came swift
as a dart
He grabbed for my hand with a
look of relief
Falling and losing his candy
and chips in temporary grief
I cringed in pain as he
slammed his small hand on a piece of steel
He gave a sign that he was
okay and that the pain was real
He looked up with eyes of
concern of what I would do
I looked back with eyes that
said are you hurt and I love you
He picked his candy bar,
chips, quickly reaching for me
Together we continued down an
old road renewed to see
All the things one sees in
dreams when he longs for sons away
Smiling as he awakes and
remembers that they will be back one day
Wonderful dreams from God, a
loving Father, during a morning time snooze
Gee, I hope the boys come
back for we do not have many days to lose
As the story in Luke’s gospel
where a father longs for a returning son
Seeing him coming down a road
renewed knows a new beginning has begun
So, thank you Lord for the
visions and dreams of old men
They remind me that old
things pass away, and renewed roads begin
Written January 18, 2022, Andy’s 46th Birthday for Aaron and Andy while they are away from me
physically, emotionally, and spiritually.
I know one day that we will walk together again. bobby e. hopper
