At times I’d go
And leave these years behind
But I am here
To educate my mind.
And now I think
I’m glad I have this chance
To learn to live
The life my thoughts romance.
It’s not to be for
Money, rule, or name
This is not it
For the poets life I came.
A cottage small
And for a humble mind
In some fresh land
Is all I seek to find.
