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”

Thank you crimsin, for commenting and the RL.
As I've gotten older and watch their paths take shape, I often wish I could have done better, but I know that the choices we made us what we are today.

Strange how a memory or dream can strike with such power from such a distance, and when least expected.

Thank you MS.
Yes, the dream changed my mood and gave me hope throughout the rest of that day (and for the next several months I as figure some things out).

I firmly believe that special needs children are given only to those who are worthy of them.

I agree with you wholeheartedly. It takes strength, patience and lots of love. His upbringing gave me new perspectives and deeper sense of appreciation for life.

Thank you broken.
I often have dreams but don't take the time to write them down or let alone share them, but this one, as I was waking up, felt like it tugged at me.

Very moving.
I sometimes have dreams that are so vivid concerning people in the past and I awake feeling quite emotional as though the encounter had really taken place.

It really makes a connection with emotions at the present time. Perhaps the brain, confusing or mixing times and places from past experiences become like a profound reflection.

Oh, this one hit home. I have two sons and they are both so different.
I feel so blessed to have them in my life.
Dreams have a way of unlocking certain emotions
when you really connect with them. Sometimes they can be weird and random, but sometimes they
bring out underlying thoughts that seem to echo even when we wake up.

Thank you for reading and commenting Adelphina.
Yes, dream do certainly bring out a mix of emotions, of past experiences and scenarios that don't make sense but feel as if they have a message. The echo of his voice stuck with me the rest of the morning and for the days that followed.

Damian, thank you so much for reading, commenting and for the RL as well.
As we get older and watch our children come into their own, we often go back to that age of innocence and feel so lucky to be have been a part of their lives.
