Dear Beverly

Just stopped in to say how much I miss you.

         Oh Doll, you remembered me.

Always.

Road trip today. 

A special day.

Rewrote Dreams for today's journey (a few little changes).

Dreams.  

You must have had your share.

Did you dream of love?

And kindness?

Did you dream of fields of flowers?

Were there gentle summer breezes in your dreams?

Did you dream of laughing hearts

And friends that called your name?

Were some full of smiling faces?

Did you dream of places?

Or, did you dream of things?

Did you dream that you were not alone?

That you were loved?

Did you yearn for sleep to dream those dreams?

So many dreams to dream, 

Did you have enough?

Enough to fill your heart?

Were they big dreams?

Peace throughout the world?

Little dreams of sweetness on your lips?

Did you dream of sounds?

Waves crashing on the shore?

The joyful noise of song birds singing?

Did you dream of love?

And warmth?

Kind words and thoughtful phrases?

Did you dream of things you hoped for?

Was “Mom … I love you!”

Counted in your dreams?

Dreams.  

Sweet dreams.

Have a tune for you today.

One about dreams and dreaming from Les Miserables.

Enjoy.

Fantine:

There was a time when men were kind
When their voices were soft
And their words inviting

There was a time when love was blind
And the world was a song
And the song was exciting

There was a time
Then it all went wrong
I dreamed a dream in times gone by
When hope was high
And life worth living

I dreamed that love would never die
I dreamed that God would be forgiving
Then I was young and unafraid
And dreams were made and used and wasted
There was no ransom to be paid

No song unsung
No wine untasted

But the tigers come at night
With their voices soft as thunder
As they tear your hope apart
And they turn your dream to shame

He slept a summer by my side
He filled my days with endless wonder
He took my childhood in his stride
But he was gone when autumn came

And still I dream he'll come to me
That we'll live the years together
But there are dreams that cannot be
And there are storms we cannot weather

I had a dream my life would be
So different from this hell I'm living
So different now from what it seemed
Now life has killed
The dream I dreamed.
