Journey's End-Rich

Journey' End Seeing Franklin in the Music City I realised it is my journey's end If the goddess of wealth would rain money and generosities I would live in Franklin with my three daughter's families One is already living there, moving in with two more would be easier A place has value only because of people residing there I would buy my own cottage with a flowery arbour With three other cottages around for our utopia Near Jackson Lake with ducks gliding for my grandchildren to enjoy A country that gives way to an ambulance and won't let you die Even in the remotest place is a country that cares for your life The roads are broad and smooth where your bones don't rattle with bumps Windows are without wire meshes and nature is crystal clear Can see the beauty with the naked eye without obstruction Clean grocery from round the globe sans cheating Friendly faces eager to help, soothing to the heart and eye Walking down the arcades a wave, a greeting and a smile Being moneyed I would charter an inflow of loved ones to my utopia The mesmerising autumn colours made me want life to just stop The freshness in the air is all so energetic and rejuvenating The week end trekking trails, yachting and exploring New experiences experimenting to enliven life in all its spheres All these add-ons make life worth living, more value In my next life I wish to be born here with happiness abounding I'm sure god listens to the hearts ticking away their time!
