Dreams Better Than Fact

Today in Church I saw someone looking just like you.  I could see so clearly that it was you -- or maybe you as you were so long ago.  I could see the trust in your eyes, and knew how you would look when you smiled.  I thought maybe it was true, that this time has not been real and that we were together, but I knew too that it was not so.  Yet, there you were when we were younger and free still of illness and death.

I saw her again after Mass.  The resemblance was gone.  There was nothing about her that was you.  Not a few of my dreams are better than fact.  This one most of all.
