My Winter Dream

Folder:

Children/Family

Born on a snowy day

my winter dream came true

all around was white with snow

that silently filled the ground

the night before; (i dreamed)

- a herald of your coming!

I marvelled in my heart

how my thought was transposed

from dream to reality -

The surrounding was a spectacle of beauty

it was an absolute wonderland!

my eyes couldn't believe what they saw

as if there was magic on the air;

hard to grasp beyond my fecund mind.

Deep in slumber

i was awoken by uncessant clanks

the wards were in chaotic commotion

and restless remonstrance;

All, but I, was not happy

that snow had to impede their way.

The staff in green trundled me upward

to a theatre, where the noble with deep-blue sea eyes

in neat baby-blue robe took incharge -

And sweet voices of angels around him

gently lulled me to sleep -

it was easy to forget what's going on

I left it all in a dream -

as I yielded my breath

under the spell of a magic mask.

"Wake up, Leah!"

I felt a gentle tap on my shoulder,

a loving squeeze in my hands

a tender whisper on my ears.

"It's a baby girl Leah!"

once again, i stepped out of my dream

and drowsily opened my eyes;

i forced a somnific smile

and said, "thank you all"

in a weak faint voice.

In my heart, I thank the Lord

for His great mercy prevailed

He blessed me a new wee life

whom He brought out from my winter dream!

Author's Notes/Comments:

~A dedication to my birthday girl, who is going to be a brand new bride this Sunday, the 28th. To you my darling baby. Forever you will be. With lots of love. Mummy.

Just a Note: A week before I gave birth to my youngest daughter, the snow above was the scenery that appeared in my dream. You will understand why the picture above is so meaningful to me. Who would thought that someone like me would dream like that, let alone became reality?

In the morning when I was awoken by the commotion about the snow. I went outside, braving the cold just to have my photo taken. :)
