Girl on the Wall

I’d come back to earth

Woke up from a dream

Still merry with mirth

I’d sat by a stream

 

Reliving once more

The dream, now awake

As waters did pour

Like tears in the lake

 

In dream, kids were young

And all of them knew

In kitchen there hung

 A picture of you

 

My kids watched us dance

They knew it was love

A magic romance

From heaven above

 

I shed dreamer’s tears

For I had it all

My kids and no fears

And girl on the wall

 

My kids called you mum

They knew you were kind

They banged on their drum

And you didn’t mind

 

My kids knew you’d come

Each time that they’d call

Their surrogate mum

The girl on the wall

 

I watched the dream fade

As dreams always do

Then wished God had made

A mother of you

 

My kids though were sired

By siren I’d wed

And you I desired

For years had been dead
