Each night my heart dreams for you
Each time helping me through
These days that have become so hard
to live without you by my side.
Each night in all my dreams
You'll be with me here it seems
Teaching me to move on
All the while helping me hold on
But don't forget
to hold my hand
as I walk through this life
And don't forget
to smile down on me
from that clear blue sky
I'll always want you
right here with me
So help me to hold on
and to always believe
Well, you taught me many things
That run forever through my dreams
And I'll never forget
all those times you stood by me
Though my heart does ache for you
I know you'll see me through
And you'll help me hold on
Just like you used to do
So don't forget
to hold my hand
as I walk through this life
And don't forget
to smile down on me
from that clear blue sky
I'll always want you
right here with me
So help me to hold on
and to always believe
For you, I'll always believe

Author notes
Well, I wrote this song for my best friend Justin Johnson who passed away January 6, 2007. He and I were extremly close and I will really miss him. I am living everyday for him now. What spurred me to write this was that I had a dream about him last night. I dream about him every night, but last night was different. In my dream I had one day left with him and we knew it was our last day together before he would pass away. In the dream we just hung out like old times and had a lot of fun. Anyway, this is what came from that dream. Thank you for reading and I will be adding one more verse to it later, so stay tuned.

Dream on my friend.
This is what you call real poetry, to take the visions of a dream, and sing them onto a page. JJ will be proud of you, and when he looks over your shoulder, he'll see why you mean so much to him, and he to you. this is a great write, and would become a song so very easily, a dedication worth tuning into. well done Veronica, you just keep on dreaming, and never forget that he is watching you from high.

This is very beautiful. I am sure Justin smiles as he watches you. I love this:
Each night in all my dreams
You'll be with me here it seems
Teaching me to move on
All the while helping me hold on
But actually, I like all of it. I like the way it flows, and I would love to see it set to music.
-
I like this. It's very sweet, but not in a sickly way. Well done.
And I'm sory about your friend. -
Awww, another good write for Justin, grandaughter. Sure can see that he meant a lot in your life. Would like to hear you sing this one.

I am terribly sorry for your loss. You have penned beautiful words for your friend from what you seen
within your dream. Sounds like a wonderful friend.
This is my favorite verse:
Each night in all my dreams
You'll be with me here it seems
Teaching me to move on
All the while helping me hold on
says so much about strength and guidance.
Best of luck to you in the contest and my prayers and wishes are with you in your time of loss. Dawn
