Tonight I dreamed a dream, <br />I was lost in a mighty gail; <br />My ship was torn to pieces, <br />I lost both my masts and sails <br />. <br />I knew my life was over, <br />surley at sea I would die; <br />To my family I was lost forever, <br />oh the tears that fell from my eyes. <br /> <br />So I knelt down on the deck, <br />as the waves crashed over the rails; <br />And began to say a little prayer, <br />Lord I know your word wont fail. <br /> <br />I'm asking you for some peace, <br />as I am about to die; <br />Please let my end be quick, <br />on me please keep your eye. <br /> <br />To my suprise as I arose, <br />the storm that quickly came, <br />Had disapered into the night, <br />my ship and I remained. <br /> <br />Then I woke up in a sweat, <br />covered from head to toe; <br />My heart was pounding like a hammer, <br />my mind racing to and fro. <br /> <br />Then I knelt and said thank you, <br />for reminding that you care; <br />Help me not to wait for a disaster, <br />to talk with you in prayer.<br /><br />Dwayne Bailey<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/tonights-dream/
