A Preview of Heaven

I slipped into a dream one night

and everything seemed all right.

Like no dream i have ever had,

there was nothing there which was bad.

I said, “Well, i guess i’m dreaming,

or what else is its real meaning.”

In some dreams i feel i am lost.

Often i have just turned and tossed.

My wife, Louise, was close to me;

I was also feeling pain-free.

If heaven’s gonna have this bliss,

it’s something i don’t want to miss.

My dreams are not always this way;

some dreams i don’t want to replay.
