Daddy's Dream

_{Last night you came to me in a dream}

_{And I pressed you to my heart,}

_{Oh darling I have missed you so,}

_{Since the day we had to part.}

_{Your dear cheeks were rosey,}

_{And your eyes a heavenly blue,}

_{As seriously you whispered}

_{Daddy,I love you}

_{My heart was almost breaking}

_{With a love you could not know}

_{As you looked at me so pleading}

_{And said "daddy I have to go."}

_{All of a sudden I wakened}

_{On my lips was a broken scream,}

_{Dear God, let me have my baby again}

_{If only in a dream.}

_{But I know that you are happy,}

_{In that land beyond the sky,}

_{And your chubby arms will welcome me}

_{When it comes my time to die.}

_{To my dear friend Pieter, with everlasting love from his daughter Jodi, "may she rest in peace"}
