A Dream Last Night

Dedicated to my loving father Jim Zimmerman
who lost his battle with pancreatic cancer October 19th, 2007

I had a dream last night
And at first it didn't feel right
But then I thought what the heck
Gave you a kiss on the check and a hug on the neck

The dream ended on that part
But all day long it tugged on my heart
'Cuz when I awoke I remembered you are not here
And how I treasure you oh so dear

Cancer may have stolen you away
And how I think about you every day
About our quiet talks and the laughs we shared
The stories you told and showing me that you cared


You fought a good fight so strong and so brave
But in the end your angel came & gave us a wave
Your angel confirmed what we already knew
That you were going to Heaven beyond the skies of blue

I know you are waiting for us up there
And maybe even with a head full of hair ;-)
I bet you're telling Him your corny jokes & great stories,
About the love of your grandchildren, all your free from your worries

And even though I know you are in a better place
It's hard knowing I can't call you on the phone or give you a kiss on the face
It was only a dream that I had last night
But one that I will treasure so tight
