A dream visit

I saw him in my dream last night

It had been a while

He was in long term care

And I was visiting him

He was just waking up from a nap

And he was happy to see me

He was in a wheel chair

He was not in his best shape

I usually dream of him as a healthy man

Wearing a beautiful suit and standing tall

Now, he was frail

We spent some time together

I wanted to take him out for a stroll

But he said he was tired

So I reluctantly said good bye

I wondered to myself why I wasn’t visiting him more often

And I felt sad that he had to be alone so much of the time

Home visit

Aug8

Come into my home
Come into my life
Come into the space
I spend a lot of time

Bring your positive energy
Bring your smile
But if you are sad
You can still come

Maybe my smile will then
Brighten your day
And when I’m sad
You will smile my sadness away

Let’s have tea
Let’s sit and talk
Let’s connect
In this world of disconnect and rush

Let’s deepen our friendship
Deep as it can go
Let’s mine the gems
That are in me and you

These deep connections
Make life worthwhile
Otherwise in our worries
We will drown

You can be my life raft
And I can be yours
The sea can be stormy
And dangers close

In a world that can sometimes be dark
Let’s build friendship castles of light!
