The Light of Dawn
He was the echo of her tender heartbeat
Through the miles of cyber space
She was his promise of a sweet tomorrow
Though they’d never met face to face
When Ted said he’d never had a nickname
Dawn gave him one to call his own
With love Dawn called him Tedder
Each time they spoke on net or phone
They had met by chance, became good friends
Till friendship slowly blossomed into love
Shared sweet dreams and hopes of forever
They both seemed blessed from up above
Three long years that seed of love grew
With each day they loved a little more
Till finally they knew they had to meet
They both knew this time it was for sure
Plans were made and tickets bought
She packed her clothes sipping wine
Smiled as she heard that familiar beep
Her Tedder was waiting on the cyber line
Her heart gave a little pitter-patter
As the glowing screen soon lit up
Dawn bubbled, “Hun, how are you?”
He answered “Great” over his coffee cup
They talked about the plans he’d made
Both so excited about her upcoming day
Chattered on then something was wrong
Tedder’s voice just seemed to fade away
She thought poor guy he fell asleep
I’ll just say goodnight and go to bed
Dawn wouldn’t find out until much later
She’d lost the shining light that was her Ted
The airline took her home to finally she him
They both dressed in formal basic black
In grief Dawn spoke to him of promised love
But his eyes closed could not smile back
But somewhere in grief she found his smile
In little treasured memories she could keep
She knew in her heart Ted would always live
She wiped her eyes, said good bye,
no more her tears to weep.
