Last night I dreamt an angel came to me,
clad all in white he smiled at me and said
"Come with me to a better place
where pain and sadness are no more,
and love, and only love abounds".
"The journey will be easy, have no fear."
I answered "I am ready, I will come",
and rising up I took him by the hand
and left an empty shell upon my bed.
"Dear angel take me now, lead on".
Another voice then seemed to come to me,
crying out from far across the sea,
"Dont leave us, love is in this world".
"Let me go, there's only sadness here",
I pleaded with that voice to let me be.
"You can not go, if you have sadness now,
think how much pain and sorrow there will be
in those who love you, near or far away".
Then in my mind I saw a distant face
and on that face a slowly falling tear.
The angel smiled again and looked at me,
"You must choose now, but if you do not come
I will not come again to show the way".
I dropped his guiding hand and he was gone
and I slipped back into my sleeping self.
I woke and found my pillow wet with tears
and cried a while, and cried in sadness still
for broken love, and love thats yet to come.
I cried in gladness too and cried with love,
and cried for voices far across the sea.
clad all in white he smiled at me and said

where pain and sadness are no more,
