The morning sun is in my eyes,<\/p>\n
why oh why must I go blind?<\/p>\n
The window east sounded like a good plan,<\/p>\n
but then I could understand,<\/p>\n
the morning sun is in my eyes,<\/p>\n
and now I can truly realize<\/p>\n
that a morning person I am not.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Foolish things I planned out,<\/p>\n
in the home I want to build,<\/p>\n
the door North sounded grand,<\/p>\n
but not in the ways that I had planned!<\/p>\n
Foolish things I had planned out,<\/p>\n
winds are coming in with snow,<\/p>\n
I’m sorry but I’m buried, so I can’t go!<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I wanted a home by the sea,<\/p>\n
how grand a cottage just for me!<\/p>\n
A little stone house near the breeze,<\/p>\n
until the storms blew in,<\/p>\n
I wanted a home by the sea,<\/p>\n
but I never bargained a storm for me!<\/p>\n
Help! I’m too close to be swept away, please say a prayer for me!<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I think my home is hearth and books,<\/p>\n
to keep me company.<\/p>\n
To sit and read and drink my tea,<\/p>\n
and live in quiet harmony.<\/p>\n
I think my home is hearth and books,<\/p>\n
for what else do you need?<\/p>\n
Papers and tea mugs all I want,<\/p>\n
and things that I can read.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
