I Imagine a home

I imagine 

A sweet little house

With just enough space

It has a cozy fireplace 

The cat basks in the warm

There is a comfy chair 

That I can knit in

And the laundry room

Will have nothing on top of the dryer 

There is a small front porch

Just big enough for a swing

And it has hanging plants

And chimes blowing in the wind

A yard just big enough

For a climbing tree

And maybe a tire swing

With a nice dog

Plenty of flowers

There is a space for 

a vegetable garden

And some magical herbs

A handy wheelbarrow 

And a mucky compost pile

A car of my own

That is good in the winter

And a garage for parking

A studio for creating 

All forms of art

My pottery wheel

And a kiln

I teach art classes

To elementary and middle school 

At a school nearby

And classes out of my studio

To all ages of young people

The neighbors are nice

We visit sometimes

Maybe barbecue occasionally 

Or roast marshmallows 

In the backyard fire pit

I have time to spend with my son

He goes to a good school

And has nice friends

My son is involved in

A physical activity

Like karate, soccer, or gymnastics

He has musical studies in his life

Piano, drums, or maybe guitar 

We trick or treat on Halloween

we have creative costumes

Creatively carved pumpkins

Sit on our porch 

We go camping from time

With dancing and chanting

In the moonlight

We live a safe stable life

And we are happy
