Our homeschooling Adventure

Last night I dreamed a dream that felt so incredibly real;

The day was warm, the sun was bright,

And hope was in my heart, with love that I could feel.

I walked along a wooded path, with peace upon my mind.

My soul content, my heart was pure,

And in my chest, my breath released, to soar upon a wind so unconfined.

I wandered near and far, and took pleasure where I may;

The birds sang sweetly, the flowers smelled lovely,

And I was so enraptured by my witness to nature’s play.

Then, suddenly, the dream was changed, the day no longer light;

The sky was black, the wind blew hard,

And I was alone with a terrible burden, added to my plight.

I felt oppressed, with evil thoughts, that could, and would destroy;

The beauty was gone, that I’d seen before,

And I wandered within the lonely dark, just searching for my joy.

I closed my eyes against those dreaded images so near.

In my silent hole of agonous grief, I wept so miserably,

And I could not rebound, from this awful feeling of mine, so full of fear.

But while I knelt upon the ground, I saw my husband dear;

He held my hand and pulled me close,

And then I felt my shaking subside, as he held me, oh, so near.

The comfort he gave me, within his arms, came not upon a whim,

But from years of love, and times of patience.

And I knew that whatever my fears, I was not alone, not as long as I had him.
