MY ISLAND

by A.N.M. - Pisces

The other day I saw an island
OWNED by some rich man...
On T.V. of course, and I
Was filled with thoughts
Of jealousy...

How I would love to have such fortune!
An island all to myself!!
The things I'd do and such!
This land of "me"...
My fantasy...

But further as I thought
More it a drudgery than not
As it would place upon my "me"
Huge responsibility!

There-fore, I'll take this ole' shack...
Adore all that it lacks...
Simplicity!  Now THAT is me!
My island in THIS sea.

Reason for writing:

    Just thoughts about how so often we "WANT"...yearn...desire things that others have and how sad it is that we find it so hard to appreciate our own....eeerrr "wealth".
