Dreams Of A Child Poem by Dave Alan Walker

Dreams Of A Child

Rating: 5.0


I was just a kid
In love with you

I couldn't sleep
For thinking of you

You never hurt me
You never sent me away
You always loved me
In your own special way

I was a child in madness
Violence and sadness
But you showed me the way
To love one day

I thought I loved you
I thought you loved me
I guess it was
Just the tears of a child
Wanting to be loved

When I laid in bed at night
And heard the pain
Of my mothers plight
I'd close my eyes
And think of you

You never hurt me
You never sent me away
You always loved me
In your own special way

Dreams of a child
Turn into nightmares of a man
Making me want to end
This life of hell

But then I think of you
And the dreams I had of you
And decide to stay another day

Childhood memories lost
Except for the ones
Of knowing you

You never hurt me
You never sent me away
You always loved me
In your own special way

When I lie down and die
I will always know

I at least loved once

Never let the Hope inside you die, after the rains there will be a sunshine and who knows you will be lucky to see a rainbow as well. Hope for the best in life :)

This speaks of the power of love. If, no matter how terrible life can be, we find one memory pure and beautiful which evokes the tender feeling of Love, that can be just enough to get us to want to be, another day. Nice poem.

Read this after reading your Member Poem of the day - you have a sad story indeed to tell, but we often develop an inner strength through difficult life experiences and such experiences turn us into more understanding and better people. I speak from personal experience myself.

This is why we dream. It many times takes us out of reality but it also gives us something powerful to hold on to. What I love about a dream is no one can take them away from you. When you write about it as you did with this great poem, you lock it down forever. Thank you for sharing it with the world. J. L.
