A Dream, by Megan Sandmann Subscribe to rss feed for Megan Sandmann

A young couple together at last

A couple far too young to know any better

A baby comes along, a little boy, their pride and joy

A little girl a couple years later, she looks so much like
her daddy

A young father deployed, a young mother with their third
baby on the way

A knock at the door, a man in uniform, tears streaming down
a young widows face

A little girl in the womb, never able to meet the man she
would call "Daddy"

A little boy who called him "Dad" saluting his headstone

A young mother left alone, three children, a flag, his dog
tags around her neck, right over her heart

A memory

A dream... as she wakes up crying knowing he's right beside
her and never leaving
