I Wandered Lonely As An Orphan

I lived lonely, like an orphan, their single, only child. Envied others with siblings, often. They must make life worthwhile! I found my greatest joy in dreams of what I wished to be, a doctor, teacher or a queen, imagination wild and free. Like a bird within my mind I’d see lands far away and in encyclopedias find where I’d go one day. My bedroom was a magic place in seconds to transform, a surgical suite or classroom space, projecting my future upon. I could have played at being mean taking human lives, releasing all the angry fiends in which one's envy lies. Thank goodness for a mind that went beyond four walls of thought. Where strong imaginations sent good impressions to be sought. 9/20/2022
