I dreamt that you were drowning
And there was no way to rescue
I wished that I could save you
But I stood on shaky ground
I wanted you to live
I prayed for your sweet breath
And when I woke I discovered
Your beating heart dead still –
Dreams were no longer dreams
And a nightmare was real
Poems and Petals 
Poignantly beautiful! May it never come true for anyone….
