Home James Kansas What I Want 2 Sister

Just this minute finished 
conversing with my sister online

Because i can't visit her or
speak face to face as she still
lives in South Africa where we
moved and grew up as children

Whereas i live back in Liverpool
where i was born

And discovered what i really
trully want 1st and foremost 
above anything

My dream would be if i was to 
be granted 3 wishes was to win
the lottery or have anything i
wanted

Would be to buy back address
140 Kilburn Street the only
one true house and home
i have ever known

Because if i did i would in 
essence be reclaiming my 
childhood memories

A house is but bricks and mortar
but a home is built on the memories
and love that resides inside it's wall's

And unfortunately now in my case
i know and can put a price on mine
if i wish to get them back

That and if the family who bought
it and live their now are willing
to sell 

Or aren't similarly emotionally
attached to it 

As i and my family were

Indeed Christopher, first bit might be the easiest part of this near impossible dilemma winning the lottery, but then to try buy someone’s dream home back off them, now that’s probably a step too far, but isn’t it great, and free to dream, I’ll settle for a rollover lotto, cheers David
