You visit me in my dream

Every so often

I reach out to you ’cause you’re so real

When I awake, I want to scream…

Aye de mi!

You’re just a dream!

You lived a full life

Your pain you never displayed

So easily on your sleeve

You never seemed to feel any fear

Aye mi linda abuelita

How I still hold you so near

Abuelita de mi alma

I dream of you still

And you come to me and you help me make everything crystal clear

What would you think of me now?

If you were to step out of my dream

Would you be proud of me?

What would you say to me now?

I’d hope to make you smile,some how…….
