... Father
... I hear singing
... what does it mean?
They are praying for you.
... But I am not dead.
No... You are not dead.
... My friends
... some were hurt.
They will be all right.
... But I feel all right too
... I do not hurt any more
... why can't I move?
... why can't I see clearly?
You will see clearly, My son.
... my family
... I love them, Father
... will they understand?
With heavy hearts... they will understand.
... mom
... dad
... will they be all right?
I will give them peace.
... the singing, Father
... it's farther away now.
Listen as they pray more sweetly...
... are they praying for my friends?
For them
... and for you.
... will we be together again?
Forever... and ever
Father..... . they have stopped singing
... what does it mean?
Rest now
... My good and faithful servant
... and forever more
... Welcome into My home
.

On January 25, 1999... thirty-three years after J.B.'s death... I dreamt this poem as clear and vivid as if wide awake. I do not feel I wrote it, so much as it was given to me and for that, I give Thanks. Even now, I am amazed at its clarity. I awoke and wrote it down as it appears above. |
