Save Me

 
I dreamt that you were six years old again
Yet somehow, I knew it was a dream
Subconsciously I was aware of our current time and place
But it didn’t matter
I was going to enjoy this little journey

You took my hand
Led me to the living room with all the toys
I sat with you
I hugged you
Your little face lit
Your bright smile
You spoke to me
I was happy in all the details of your face
Your innocence

I miss you being that little
I miss you all being that small

I held back my tears
Time has gone by so fast
But I guess in the dream
You could see my eyes were glassy
When you said “that’s OK poppa, I’ll save you”
Like a little superhero

I hugged you again
And kissed your cheek
My baby boy

And even as I was waking out of that dream
I could hear the echo of your little voice…

“I’ll save you”
