Just a Break From Real Life

I close my eyes My soul is at peace It's relaxing here in my mind The perfect retreat I can shut out the world If just for a while Can forget all the chaos Trouble and strife I think of the old times When life was carefree I'm at home with my mother I'm wrapped in her hugs Next I'm out playing With my dearest best friend We're talking and laughing In a land with no time Hey look there's that cute guy You once bashfully kissed Skip forward a breath or two I'm in my high school classroom The teacher is teaching Some subject I must have missed Go a little closer to the front of my mind Now I am standing in the courthouse My hair is in curls My dress is long and white Promising forever to the man holding my hand In just a few minutes my daughters will be born It seems like forever it took them to arrive Now I open my eyes, time to wake up To this beautiful existence I call it my life...

You must also be left handed. Always in your own mind. I like it. Keep the breeze going
