Dreams of the Heart
Where is the Future Found?
Dreams of the Heart
Horses galloping by
Like a strong spring breeze
Mountains rising high
Reaching for clouds to tease
Trees into forest form
Among them there is no sky
Woodland creatures all around
Scampering, scurrying hurriedly by
Sitting on a log by a stream
You beside me holding my hand
Relishing that this is not a dream
Grateful life is always this grand
Our son reaches down and hugs us
Our daughter sits down and greets us
Love fills our hearts and the air that surrounds us
Two angels fly by in an arc around us
I feel His presence getting closer to us
Our eyes meet, His smile so full of grace
He tousles her hair, caresses your face
Pats my back, gives him a warm embrace
I see the scars across His face
Holes in His hands from where the nails were placed
Marks of the love He shares with us
This dream of our heart is now real to us.
Heaven on earth is not a reality yet
We get glimpses from God
If we just look around
Not with the eyes that are physically set
With the dreams of the heart
Is the future found
