Wistful By: SheridanCraneFitzgerald@hotmail.com A smile I had often dreamed In the darkest, lonely nights Curves the lips of a gentle face: What a heavenly sight. A hug I prayed would come to me Brings comfort unexpected; Enfolded in these loving arms, I find joy I hadn't suspected. A kiss I had wished to feel Scatters butterflies inside. I experience a warmth that on the coldest days I had only dreamed would reside. A love that I dared hope would come Is spoken unto me. I awake both sad and joyful -- What a lovely dream. BACK
