A Dream
Created: 02/17/2005
I once wondered
what life would be like
in fifty years.
I'd probably have
wrinkles around my eyes
representing how my youth is slowly
draining away.
I also wondered what it would be like
waking up in a Victorian house
to the sound of the waves lapping
against the shore
in the summer.
My day would be full of the laughter of small grandchildren.
I wonder
will life be like this in fifty years?
A summer house at the beach,
with waves lapping against the shore,
and the laughter of grandchildren,
Or will it just be a dream?
This was for an English challenge of "Time Old," or writing about what your life would be like in fifty years or so. I tried not to get all "fairy-tale" like, although some people did write theirs that way. This one was edited several times.
