My Dream

I'll tell you my dream come true. For all of us.

 

 

   I'll tell you my dream.  I want to be in love again. For that love to be my last. I wish to run home to her waiting arms every night make love to her till I can't breath.  Forsaking for her all others feel her sweat pour over me, like a waterfall.  To have the rains wash away my sins baptizing me in tears of joy.  Fall asleep to the beat of her heart, all the while her whispers caress my ears with "I love you". Play on the beach sharing our deepest fears and grandest joys. Wake not knowing where I end, nor where she begins. Drink of her love till I drown. Look at the moon each night I'm away, know she’s doing the same. Close my eyes, feel her heart touch my soul, and know she has shared with me something precious.  Walk hand in hand through the park at 85 stare into each others eyes not seeing the years gone by, but the priceless love within. I want to die in her loving embrace from a life well spent. All the while the lofting sounds of laughter, pour through my window, as grandchildren play hide and seek, in the fallen leaves of changing colors. To the sound of the lonesome whistle down the river the steamers would roll. I dream my last words to be “I love you". The last sounds I hear to be the new life crying down the hall belying echoes of the child that will take my place. A loving tear from my beloved wife and son, I'd pass from this world with a smile.

Author's Note

It was this story that found my wife for me. For all who ever dared to dream of the great love in life. I thought of this dream and carried it with me all my life. I intend to live it and take it with me to the end. My great great grandfather immigrated to the United States years ago from Ireland. And though I never had the pleasure of knowing him. Be it enough for him to know I am thankful and happy. To him I say "thank you for my life". His spirit lives within my heart!

"My Dream"
Tate Morgan,
This dream is everyone's and this makes it an understood reality. I thought of my own parents as I was able to see your feeling regarding a lifelong commitment, for the future spins upon it. Children, aging, experiences, blessings........it goes on and on.
Blessings,
Kathy

Thank you kathy I just presided over my mother in laws funeral and the more i see the more i realize my first assessment of life was true to the end.Cherish the times you have. The thing that makes moments treasure is that they are finite

It's obvious you know yourself, as you describe what you want, so you realize you are a rare man from a woman's point of view? If you didn't before, I am sure all of these many reviews have enlightened you! My first thought after reading this piece was, That Tate! I want to pinch him to see if he's real! Not many woman think a man could feel this way, and even more so, express it so eloquently! A standing ovation...

[Tate Morgan]

Thank you barb I would hope there are others like me as well. Though I came from a horsemans background where emotions are left at thew door So i cant understand How I became who i am . thank you

a bit of prose from you my friend! ... lofty and resilient for sure! ... the idealism is a bit over the edge for me tho .. :} we do wish for the best .. it comes and goes .. the point you make for me in this one is that we do arrive at a place in which we are OK with our demise ;) ... its a fine place! a drink of salvation! .. a celebration especially for the Irish in all who are and the rest that wish they were ;))) very sentimental emotive write for me sir! so glad you found your chailín for life :) God be with you always!

Thank you gene I have always been a romantic and I dont just like women I love them lol As for my own life I guess I can say it is nice to look back and see ones trail and smile. My son thinking he was a man for sure lol. Went to Canada two days ago. He was going there because he had made plans all sumnmer to get a passport and get into a foreign country where he could both drink and gamble at 19lol. So anyway he has always said to me"I have led a very sequestered life.I want memories to tell my kids like you have " So he calls me a couple days ago to tell me he earned a feww more .Went to Canada and got in the wrong lane on the bridge.That got him strip searched and his truck impounded for an hour while they went over it with a fine tooth comb.Then so flustered he locked the keys in the truck and had to call canadian AAA to come unlock it.It took 2.5 hrs to get into canada lol Oh the trials of modern life. I told him a lesson well learned it will be even more trying to get back
