(I wrote this for my wife just over a year ago. Its pretty cheesy, and I don't think out my poetry much so its awkward at times. *doesn't think much of his poems*)
One night as I slept... Alone in our bed.
A Dream fell upon me... To a new life it led.
I was single and rich... With money to last.
I owned many cars... And got lots of ass.
Every night was a party... Every person a friend.
I dreaded the moment ... That all this would end.
My pool was a lake... And the yard was so green.
My mansion the biggest... I've ever seen.
Just over fifty eight rooms... And only ten baths.
It was like a fancy hotel... With the service to match.
Finally I'd done it... I knew I'd be fine.
I saw what I wanted... And I'd made it mine.
So I settled in for the night... On my custom made bed.
Turned off my big screen tv... And laid down my head.
But to my surprise... I just couldn't sleep.
Visions would haunt me... And make me feel weak.
Again, and again... I would try it each night.
Each time the same thing... Something just wasn't right.
Thought I had it all... But still found no rest.
For nothing could fill... The hole in my chest.
I started to remember... The life that I had.
It began with a boy... I knew him as Brad.
The light in his eyes... The red in his cheeks.
The sound of his laughter... The way that he speaks.
Next was an Angel... The prettiest of girls.
With her innocent smile... And her golden blond curls.
I wanted it over... I wanted it done.
And thats when I glimpsed... My first born son.
He stood at my feet... Trying so hard to climb.
But I couldn't pick him up... No matter how hard I tried.
My hands passed right through him... As if he were air.
They were apart of a life... That was no longer there.
My head in my hands... I started to cry.
And thats when my wife... Came to my side.
She moves toward me slowly... With a ladies grace.
Our new born baby... In his mother's embrace.
Her beauty unmatched... Her presence divine.
It was hard to believe... I once called her mine.
The way we played together... The struggles we had.
The love in our eyes... Through good times and bad.
My best friend and lover... The way that I felt.
When she gets that look in her eyes... That makes my heart melt.
My partner in crime... The love of my life.
How lucky I was... To have her as a wife.
One by one... They faded from sight.
As I shut my eyes... With all my might.
Knowing inside... The way that I feel.
But which life is fake... And which one is real.
I know in my heart... What I wanted the most.
Not my mansion or money... Or even my boat.
For now I knew... The real value in life.
was spent with my family... My kids, and my wife.
I'd give it all up... Every possession I had.
Just for a chance... To hear my son call me dad.
Was this meant to be?... Was this all fate?
And then my worst fear... Was I too late?
I opened my eyes... Crying and scared.
I looked toward the crib... But nothing was there.
No yelling, or running... Up and down the halls.
No playing or laughter... Just silence, thats all.
I felt empty and hollow... Sad and alone.
I didn't want to be here... I wanted my home.
I fell to my knees... I started to pray.
Oh god, Oh god... Please just one day.
One day of love... One day of life.
One day with my family... One day with my wife.
And then I awoke... No longer alone.
As you laid beside me... I knew I was home.
I felt my heart lift... As the light of the moon.
Danced on the crib... That stood in the room.
Wrapped in a blanket... Our new baby slept.
And right then I knew... God's promise was kept.
To love us always... For he knows whats best.
I trust in his wisdom and... Well, you know the rest.
At least now I know... I'll hear my son call me dad.
Then maybe one day I'll tell him... About a dream I once had.
One night as I slept... Alone in our bed.
A Dream fell upon me... To a new life it led.
