It Was Just A Dream
 
      I heard a sweet sound    it was my old mothers’ voice,   a glimmer of happiness shone   but alas it was a dream.     As a tender melody played    I remembered my childhood days,   I felt my mother’s kiss    But it was just a dream.     She embraced me with much longing   As she wiped my misty eyes,    But my tears would not stop   Ah why was it just a dream.           Poem written by S.
