A
Hope of
Some to one day
Rise steadily above
Adversity to own a home.
Building in their mind a labor of love,
Like an emperor's grandiose dream of Rome.
A childish wish for a world - not just a roof above.
Worlds where they are themselves, alone, and free.
Like they found a place they belonged to,
Like a fish in its brook, or a bird in its tree.
A great experience as those around you knew,
Seeing everyone else, until one day – it was you.
