Rog's Rhymes--An Old Woman Dreams

~THE SIG BOX~



 AN OLD WOMAN DREAMS

She sits in her bathrobe, a cup of coffee in her hand
 Softly a radio is playing an old country western band
 A sad song is telling the story of her life it seems
 The sun is just coming up and an old woman dreams

 She remembers when she danced to a gay country tune
 At her wedding dance on that long ago day in June
 She recalls the touch of his hand as he led her around the floor
 And his strong arms as he carried her through the door

 Life has rushed by so fast; the love of her life so long dead
 It was just yesterday she was young and her life lay ahead
 The care of her babes was a great joy in her life
 But the pain of remembering cuts her heart like a knife

 How she wishes she could go back, if she had her way
 And gather her children around her as she did every day
 As she lifts her cup, her hand trembles with the frailty of years
 And an old woman dreams and fights back the tears

 She thanks God for the blessings and the good life shes had
 She knows He gave her much more good than He ever did bad
 It's just that her life has gone by way to fast so it seems
 A sad country song is playing and an old woman dreams
