One Adventure After Two---

Ah…..to spend one’s time wishing with only ifs and turned down lips no gift already given being enough perhaps if in such disregard I lay for wish for SERENITY is what I’d pray Ah…to spend one’s time a wishing and not to see the sky, the majesty of baby smiles, the turning of the tides; if they were not enough for me, which of course they are and I went a wishing, wishing on a star, perhaps, if into such disregard, I’d strayed I’d hitch my hopes upon CONTENTMENT with the hand I had been played. Ah…..to spend one’s time in wishing I’d not waste a cue. I’d satisfy all longing with one ADVENTURE after two! To live this life the fullness, this life I’d not decry by spending time in pipe dreams and staring into I.

Great last three lines...That should be the theme of everyones life from the beginning...Not to spend life wanting what one cannot have...Keep the creative pen flowing...Sara
