This is a story

About a short dream

It brings things to light

More real than they seem


I was enjoying a break

On a holiday isle

When a girl tapped my shoulder

And gave me a smile


She said "Could you take my father

for a ride in his chair?"

I said "I'm taking some time

Resting from my wife's care."


Then suddenly her tapping

Seemed more pronounced

And out of my dream

I, all at once, bounced.


My wife, it appeared,

Needed immediate action

Her taps brought me out

Of the far-off distraction


And so ends the dream

That was more than it seemed

I came back to life

To care for my wife.

Author Notes
This really happened this very morning. Many of you know I have been my wife's primary carer for some years. More recently since she had her Right Rotator Cuff injury, back in May last year. We have written about this elsewhere. Thanks to tekayep for "Dreamy Days"
