Most nights I stay awake <br />The phone might ring <br />Maybe a knock at my front door <br />Something relieving me of this misery <br />Maybe I will see your face appear before me <br />I would not be fearful <br />For with you <br />It is known to me only Joyous days <br />So If by chance you have time for me <br />Though busy you may be <br />Ask God permission <br />Pay me a visit <br />If only a call <br />If only a knock <br />If only in my dream <br /> <br />And when this wish you Grant to me <br />We’ll sit and talk <br />You sip coffee <br />I, Tea <br />We’ll remember days we had before <br /> Memories that pictures hold <br />We’ll laugh <br />Cause we were always happy <br />And reminiscences will cause shared glee <br />We’ll Cry <br />Cause we would have to let go <br />Time will come for you to go <br />And again you will leave, like once before <br />But as for now I will be prepared <br />Prepared I will be to let you go<br /><br />Rachael Hardy<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-imagined-visit-31-12-08/
