Living My Island Dream - Rich
If I was rich and could live anywhere I wanted,
I would buy my very own island on the St. Lawrence;
Somewhere between Ontario, Canada and New York,
In the 1000 Islands, well it is actually 1,864 islands.
Oh yes, in the heart of islands I would live my dream,
Talk about off the beaten track, not connected to land;
A retreat and a haven from the world and so unique,
It would not be a river cottage but a huge mansion.
No rustic and charming for me but stunning and beautiful,
Located in a deep water channel on a private island;
I would relax on my deck watching huge ships and boats,
But the mainland would be a motorboat ride away.
And there I would find bike trails and hiking and markets,
Wonderful restaurants, theatre and even a casino;
From my deck I could go fishing and have endless silence,
I could swim from my own beach and go scuba driving.
There are many historic ship wrecks to go exploring,
And the Boldt Castle, build for love, it is a tourist stop;
If I wanted to go to the United States there is a bridge,
Or just be alone with my very own trees and nature.
I could take a river cruise to somewhere or lay in the shade,
If I was rich then I could just write poems all day;
Oh I can just imagine how amazing it would be in the rain,
And I would call my private island, Dreamer's Island.
