I NEVER DREAM OF YOU

It sure has been a long time, sir, now closer than once before,

I am older than you now; you were thirty-seven as I was once seven,

Always thinking of you, but why I never dream of you is not known.

Dreams fill my head for a lifetime, as I can only make them up in the light,

I wish there were nightly dreams of you, father; nothing comes to my mind.

I never dream of you; sleep does not let me ever see your face again.

Because you went away that day, your face fades, and that is hurting my everyday.

What blocks you from my mind? Does death take too much away?

I never dream of you, but the memories will live until eternity.
