several times
of a great place to live...
 |
| House At Dusk, 1935, Edward Hopper |
a mansion,
a palace,
a villa,
as we may call it.
but I am happy
that I did not grab the bait.
for I know,
for them to keep it,
i will be there all by myself,
most of the time.
I would rather be,
and I am glad to have chosen
our simple man's place
just enough space
for the two of us,
to live happy and
contented...

Deletehappy anniversary man...i am glad to have met you along the way...and i would much rather a simple life filled with love than all the riches and coldness....
ReplyDeletethank you Sir Brian... you are one of the best here...
DeleteExcellent and wise words. Better to live in a small cozy home with the people who are important to you than to live in a big empty home waiting for them to return from hard work to keep you in that home.
