Before you were whole and really alive
I dreamt of you and I together forever
That dream was shattered by a tugging too real to be imagined
They were taking you from me
Tearing my insides out I tried to hold on to you but they pulled you from me
I closed my eyes thinking you'd still be there where you've always been in my dreams
In my dreams where I hold you rock you and comfort you
In my dreams where I watch you as you grow into a happy child gorgeous child a brilliant child A child who laughsand plays and throws kisses to me because I am always with you
Hush now, mamma's here
In my dreams where you grow taller and more beautiful than ever
In my dreams where I am your proud mother
But then in my dream your mother turns and she's not me
I waken with a startle to a nightmare of emptiness
And loneliness soaked with tears and sweat
I can recall your birth with vivid sweet pain but
the rest the rest was it all just a dream?
I tried to bring you back with me to my reality and almost lost you
Hush now, mamma's gone I will not scare you again
You needn't run away I'll go back and content myself
With my beautiful dream of you in which you are my childforever
