Thank you Daddy

A dream I had about two weeks ago, my daughter was so happy in it, and it soothed my heart to see her,,,,, it has a deeper than face meaning I believe,,,,,,,,. To the child I may never have.

I had a dream

In it I came to know a truth in me

 

I was standing on a crowded drive
Joy present in all the eyes

Running down between people at knee high
It was my unborn daughter who had come to say hi

 

I picked her up, held her in my arms
I Held her tight with the truth of love

She popped her head back and looked at me with a smile
Then she said with a twinkle in her eye

"Do you want to play Daddy"

"Of coarse baby" I replied
"But where shall we play?" I asked this beautiful daughter of mine

She pointed down to the car port beneath the house
But there were strangers around, it looked dirty and right was not how it felt

I shook my head and said
"No baby"
She replied "then where Daddy"
I walked and carried her up the path and pointed up
"Up there baby, you and Daddy can play upstairs"

Still deep in this dream, it was this moment that captured my heart and made light of the heavy
She kissed me on the cheek, smiled like she knew, and said

"Thank you Daddy"

That tore at my heart...

Beautiful, tragic... The grief in those last few lines, to me, was a bit overwhelming...

Beautiful, Matweh... sad, and touching, and beautiful...

so sadly touching, so touchingly sad...so poignantly beautiful, so beautifully poignant.
A great work of art!

--deeper than face meaning--

Yeah, I should say- It sounds as if the child (your baby girl) will be expecting you join her in heaven for much happier times than whats offered here on this corrupt earth. So she thanks you for realizing this is not the world you want to bring her into.You want something better for her.

This dream gave me chills!!!
AWESOME!!! I loved it!!

I'm not sure why, but this makes me want to cry. Just the word daddy makes me sad I guess. It's a very good dream. I'm glad that you got to experience such a thing.
