A Dream of Mine

I wrote this for my wife for Valentine's Day.  I do not write very many romatic poems as they are the hardest to write.


You first were a dream of mine
I could not see your face
Nor the place or the time
But you first were a dream of mine


The scent of wild flowers in early spring
The song that you hear when the meadowlark sing
The glint of the snow in the winter sunshine
You first were a dream of mine


The softness of fur of a young kitty cat
The warmth of the sun on my back as I sat
The pleasure you get when you taste a fine wine
You first were a dream of mine


The sparkle and love that I saw in your eyes
As we passed by each other – Hellos and goodbyes
The brush of your hand sent chills up my spine
You first were a dream of mine


Now when I awake and you’re there by my side
I think back to that day when you first were my bride
And how dreams can come true as if by design
You first were a dream of mine


You first were a dream of mine
I could not see your face
Nor the place or the time
But you first were a dream of mine
