Of These Things I Dream

This is for Emma.

Of These Things I Dream, by Kathryn Gooch

To know your heart
To see through your eyes
To feel every emotion
Of these things I dream

To know your soul
To share your hopes
To share your fears
Of these things I dream

As your Comforter, I would wipe away your tears
As your Protector, I would hold you in my arms
As your Strength, I would carry you through
As your Lover, I would always be true

Your hands play across the strings of my life
Love is your Bow and Hope your Conductor
This is our one and only performance
Heaven will be our encore

If only we could find a Heaven on Earth
Where our spirits could run free
Where we can escape from the life
That holds us as prisoners to the inevitable

Of these things I dream
