THE RETREAT

THE RETREAT

It had been too long since I had a vacation
but the time had come and I felt elation!
By saving a big part of my weekly wages,
I could overcome my sudden wild rages,

A rustic retreat nestled in the rolling hills,
with great anticipation,heart and soul fills.
No feelings of revenge, I am content to be
out here on the range, suddenly I feel free!

I will ride the rapids, swept along so fast,
that the feeling of freedom is bound to last.
The sun will sink low, a sunset in sight,
A ruby-red sky fills me with pure delight.

The alarm clock rings out, time to get up!
My dream disappears, I must be out of luck.
Yet a remnant of the dream exists and I swear
Somehow, someday, my retreat will be there!
