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…….

that’s been put out to pasture. One night, with an encroaching dead line breathing down my neck, I picked up the old dinosaur and I threw it against the kitchen wall. I surprised myself with my own strength. My husband came in to see what was the matter and he didn’t have to ask, once he saw the old beast laying there lifeless. He told me to relax and that we’d go out and buy a new one the next day. So that was my first “big item” I bought as a newly wed.
