"Prayer"
I dream of a day when we are no longer in danger of death
I dream of teacups and teapots and tea without sugar to no end
I dream of sunshine through lace curtains and paper flowers to no end
I dream of my skin growing softer and even more beautiful with every day that i age
I dream of a small, comfortable cottage with good, comfortable foods
I dream of the possessions which are so dearly owed to me, elegant and fine things
I dream of savouring every precious morning with my Theodore and waiting every night
I dream of cinching my waist a little tighter someday, and going out in flowing dresses to dinner
I dream of a little cottage garden and a pet or two, a stepson to watch him slowly grow up and visit
I dream of bird feeders and seed and birdbaths made of porcelain and angels sculpted in resin
I dream of slow-cooking dinners on sunday afternoons and there always being a steak for theodore's meal
I dream of recipe cards and little tea parties and new friendships, just light friendly ones with love
I dream of visiting the ocean and the mountains and taking my husband to the local art museum
I dream of writing poetry every day and little by little accomplishing much
I dream of cleaning the house daily and visiting the doctor yearly, with perfect health
I dream of living to my husband's full lifetime, and my own lifetime, full and real.
In Jesus' NAme,
Amen
