I had a Dream...

Saturday morning,
I awoke from a dream,
which I usually never do.
**********************
Woody had come to sit on my lap.
I did not pet him.
He simply sat there
and looked up at me.

As if to say,

"It's okay,
I understand.
I forgive you".

I saw him as clearly as ever I had.

And after a while,
he hopped up,
as he always did,
and wandered away.

Disappeared.

And I was left with a warm place,
in my dream lap.

I could feel the heat on my skin
where he had been...
