Wish List

When I think of money
and those that have so much
I wish I had more
I see one drive a nice car
I envy and wish I had a red one
When I see a large beautiful home
I picture myself in one
built with terracotta floors
mud and straw adobe walls
But then I think
if I had all this
I would be in the car
driving away from you
If we lived in that large house
we would be separated in
different rooms
and the money, oh yes the money
well the money couldn’t
buy me you

  1. Interesting detail there at the end about being in different rooms. Money is useful for a lot of things and certainly makes life a whole lot easier, but it can't buy real love.

  2. I loved this. It was very nice, almost as if you could read my mind.

  3. My favorite lines: But then I think
    if I had all this
    I would be in the car
    driving away from you...

  4. Ah, but a little more money would be nice at times. I don't need a bigger house (just more to clean) or the car, but I'd love to buy more art, give more to my favorite causes, not have to worry about financing my daughter's college education, etc. etc.
