An Old Man’s Dream

by J. Allen Wilson — Read all 1,629 poems by J. Allen Wilson

The house pictured in the photo is the house of my dreams. It has five bedrooms and three baths, almost 4000 SQ. FT... but better yet it sits on 21.5 acres down by the river less than two miles from where I live now. It has two barns with horse stalls for horses and a rolling fenced pasture… My chances to win this by the words of my pen are small, but after all I still dream…thus I must still live.

An Old Man’s Dream

 

He’s old and does not move like he used to, but he still dreams.

Life has sometimes been tough but God has always met his needs.

Now as the latter days slip softly toward the twilight of his years.

He has one last dream; the smell of woods on acres of his own land.

He wants to hear the trees; he longs for the quiet and prays it’s near.

For on the words of an essay written sound and true , he trusts his dream is at hand.
