My Dream House
Sometimes wanting is more fun that getting.
I have been lucky
to have been able to travel
to great cities
and historic sites
and places of great beauty.
I admire them all.
So someday
I would like to build a house
to remind me
of all those places.
A themed room
connected to another themed room
and another and another
with a garden
of great beauty
outside the window.
I know exactly what I want
in my mind.
And when life gets frustrating
or difficult
or just tiring,
I think of my house
and review the plans
in my mind.
Will I ever build it?
Sometimes wanting is more fun that getting.
