MY DREAM
Copyright 2014 by Judy Unger
Like the sky after sunset my dream still glows
A river of warmth, through my body it flows
Filling my soul, it makes me whole
Helping me cope, my dream gives me hope
Like shade in the summer, a misty spring rain
My dream is so soothing; it heals all my pain
Making me sure, then I’m secure
I may be low, but I’ll never let go
My dream it feels so certain; I wait behind a curtain
One day I’ll face the world’s embrace
And the message I’ll bring with joy when I sing
My dream is where I’m going; it’s all about my knowing
With courage I grew and I know it’s true
My dream will get me through
I may be stressed, but my dream has me blessed
One day I see I’m soaring free
My dream I hold so tightly
In darkness it shines brightly
All my desires, my dream inspires
My dream will save me; the gift God gave me
My dream is where I’m going; it’s all about my knowing
With courage I grew and I know it’s true
My dream will get me through
My dream will get me through

Recently, my apartment has been quiet because my two sons are on a three-week trip with my ex-husband.
-
It has been interesting as I adjust to the solitude; I’ve been writing a great deal. Soon there will be a lot of new songs and stories added to my blog.
-
At this time, I want to share a new song arrangement for my song “My Dream.” A lot of my upcoming stories will reflect more of my feelings surrounding dreams.
-
Currently, two themes that are constantly tangling in my life are: Letting go and holding on.
-
I want to hold on to memories, hope, love and dreams.
-
I want to let go of: judgment, criticism, guilt and sorrow.
-
-
I did write some new chorus lyrics for this second version and they are those words above. This is now only the second time where I’ve used the word “God” in my lyrics. It is because I have found myself to be far more spiritual and that has begun to emerge in my writing.
-
My dream definitely illuminates the darkness in my life. Unfortunately, my eyes have continued to be a curtain for me.
-
I love to dream of when that curtain opens someday.

Now I want to share an exchange of comments between Sandra Blake Callahan and myself. Sandra, who is terminally ill, wrote a beautiful post on her blog aptly named “Dare We Dream.” Clicking on it is a link to her story.
-
Oh, Sandra – today I sang a new version of a favorite song of mine named “My Dream.” You were in my mind. Really, dreaming is such a beautiful way to go to places that uplift me. It keeps me smiling and peaceful. I wish that for you always.

Judy, I studied the Holocaust while in college. I did not fully understand how people who lived were able to go on with their lives. Then when I read the book “Man’s Search For Meaning,” it simply validated that there are some things that can never be taken from us. When we stop dreaming, hoping and finding meaning in our life – we are not really living. I cannot imagine where one finds the strength to do these things when suffering the loss of a child. You inspire me.
-
Your beautiful words always touch me deeply Sandra. You are so right about finding meaning from life. Somehow, I was able to transform my suffering into meaning. I will always be sad that my son died, but I’m not defined by his death anymore. I have chosen to look at love as my salve – it started out as love for my surviving children and now I’m learning that loving myself enough to follow my dreams is what matters.

-
Love can do so much for us if we let it.
