Dream Guide

Come take my hand and I will lead you

Down the road that you once knew.

To climb again the tree so tall

Where in its branches you would crawl.

The friends below in hiding there

The games of youth that you did share.

A quiet heart and busy head,

The hours of play how quickly sped.

Valiant leadership, strong and bold

To your memories have taken hold.

In dreams I’ll take you back again.

My friend, if there be any pain

While walking through this dream with me,

I’ll comfort you, I’ll be there too, you’ll see.
