Last night while I slept, I dreamed about the beautiful souls Who've passed through my life. Some whose radiance touched me in the past, Some who pour love into me now, and Some who will see me to the finish. From the past came a shining princess of orchids, A gay man who yearned to be free, A Hindi – she only knew how to help me, and A cancer mom whose example inspired me. God, How could You? Who am I to deserve? You give me the present while I struggle with death. Shining companions come to my aid when I least expect, Family comes through and amazes beyond belief, Friends hold me up now until I can walk again, New friends simply shine on to light the way. In God's time the timing is perfect. Overwhelming tears of JOY, it's too much to expect. God, How could You? I do not deserve. I cannot see the future or the souls who will be there, but now I expect there to be one, because You've given me a miracle I do not feel I deserve. Now I want to hold up the light to shine on the way, So others will not stumble in their moment of need. God, How could You – You could only!
