Mark I. Kirkmeyer: Angel Dream

ANGEL DREAM

She came to me
Last night in a dream
A glowing angel
encompassed in a light beam

She said I had a choice
I could go back in the past
And change one thing
This decision would last

I considered my options.
What would I change,
What would I do,
My life to rearrange?

I thought of two words.
The time I said "I do"
With a woman too young;
Neither of us having love true

This would not be good.
The most joyous moment
Of my entire live
Would be vacant.

I thought of those words.
"I will obey the orders"
But somebody else
Would have to suffer.

I thought of something
A little more recent
That won't change me -
Change the present.

I choose to spend more time
I ask for one more night
To have your smile
Within my sight

All I wish for in my life
Is one more night with you
To see you smile.
This is true.
