The Message

She rode upon a horse so fine, The angel of my dreams, Her robes were long and flowing, Her stunning looks surreal. She looked at me with dazzling gaze, And then I heard her say, I've a message from your loved ones, For you this very day. I know you miss them desperately, They really miss you too, It was their time to leave this life, So here's what you must do. Just dry your tears and live your life, As they would want you to, For they will watch you from above, They thought the world of you. She led me to a beautiful lake, The best I'd ever seen, Surrounded by colourful flowers, A kind so new to me. Then with her magic powers, She waved her slender hand, Across the crystal water, She softly gave command. As the ripples parted, I saw a familiar scene, My Mum is waiting at the door, Dressed in bright jade green. The angel turned to look at me, And spoke with eyes so bright, These are special memories, You have to hold them tight, Those special times are gone now, But love will last forever, One day, when the time is right, You'll walk again together. As I awake, I look toward her picture on the wall, I love you Mum, I warmly say, You were the best of all. Jayne Davies
