Dream Poem by Kristina Jordan

Still my heart beats faster
Making pitter patters like a child running
Rush of joy through my being

Faster still in my chest it beats
My mind racing
How could this be

Longing for a gentle touch
Though now almost painfully urning, for even
The slide of a hand over my shoulders
The accidental brush of his body against mine

Faster still in my chest it beats
My mind racing
How could this be

Pondering if our love is true
Wondering if we would be forever more
Is my desire requited
Is my love sincere

Faster still in my chest it beats
My mind racing
How could this be

Our day has come
We will join our lives
Starting a new life as one being
We've come so far will we last

Faster still in my chest it beats
My mind racing
How could this be

We welcome him with teary eyes
Looking at the beauty
Our eyes meet and exchange the unspoken words
'So much love we have, so much love we'll give'

Faster still in my chest it beats
My mind racing
How could this be

Watching my love grow older
Nothing could show the beauty more
Aging as though God had gifted this one
Every line, every wrinkle, eyes and hair lit with learned wisdom

Faster still in my chest it beats
My mind racing
How could this be

Dark room, aimless people coming and going with tears
I look upon the face of my love in amazment
I didn't deserve this perfection now before me
Yet I was chosen to spend all the days by my love's side, even till the last

Faster still in my chest it beats
My mind racing
How could this be

As he's lowered in the ground
I stare, every moment of his life was given for me
Understanding and generosity
Humble yet graciously loving

Faster still in my chest it beats
My mind racing
My dream now ended
