when held to the fiery light of eternity.

For little is there to be desired, or laid to plan

when death embraces us with its certainty.

So I shall dream on, but in a limited scope,

Less I succumb to the disappointment of lost dreams and muted hope.

Instead of wealth,

I will be pleased with health,

Instead of a perfect life,

I will expect, and learn from strife.

For there is nothing else that I can see,

That could further encourage me.

So therefore, in sadness I shall not roam,

For I will achieve what I truly need,

In search of my simple peace.

And that will only be,

when I am able call heaven my home.
