In Dreams

In the last two nights, I’ve had two dreams, that made me very sad;
The first one was simply horrible, about my Nico and my Dad!
My father and I were in a room, I asked him, “Where’s my Nico at?”;
He looked at me with saddened eyes, and gave my back a pat!
.
He said, “Larry, I’m so sad to say, that your Nico now is gone”;
“He left us in the nighttime, before the break of dawn.”!
“I’ll never see my Nico again”, thought I, as my teardrops fell like rain;
I woke up to find it was just a bad dream, which has become my nightly bane!
.
The second one was just hours ago, it also made me weep;
It was about my dearest little Cody, who now in Heaven sleeps!
We were going to see a friend of his, Cody stood on the back seat;
When we pulled up to his buddies’ house, he could not wait to him go greet!
.
I said “Cody, do you have to potty, before we go in the doggies’ house;
He answered “yes” with his lovely growl, which my emotions highly roused!
I woke up, and was again in tears, realizing that he’s no longer here;
These dreams are so relentless, they prey upon my fears!

                 But then the Nightmare begins
                            As I wake alone
