I Dream Of You…

I Dream Of You…

I Dream Of You…
I dream of holding you in my deepest dreams 
I dream of carrying you 
I dream of touching your face and making you laugh
My precious Legacy Reign that dream is slowly starting to fade
I pray that you will find a home that is better than what I could have given you 
I pray that each and every day for you 
My heart is torn to pieces that I couldn’t be your mother 
My heart melts with fear that I will live a shattered life without you in it
I dream of every gift that I would have ever given you 
But my dream of you is buried deep within my soul
I will always long for you 
I will always cherish you 
But I’ve been written off like I was doomed by every one who even had a chance
So my new beginning will be with you in Heaven, Legacy Reign 
I have survived the worst
I survived the blues of having you near
And I survived a fog that has been lifted to great extremes of knowing my life will be better without you
I still can’t look in the mirror as I still see the ghost of you and me, the unborn child I dreamed of so desperately is but a waning bittersweet memory 
No longer a Legacy Reign, but a Rebirth of sorts in an aging puppy named Cadence full of exuberance and life that makes my heart melt like he were my own son instead of a furry creature that doesn’t speak in actual words. For it is because of him I’m able to survive you
