My Greatest Desire

My Greatest Desire

To be carefree

And soar above the clouds.

To love and be loved.

To profess it out loud.

 

To never grow old

Or have to pay bills.

To never get sick

Or addicted to pills.

 

To fulfill in excess

My wildest dreams.

To become the kind of friend

To whom most friends would lean.

 

To imagine a world

Full of passion and grace.

To live a full life

To win life's great race.

 

To hold a small monkey

In the palm of my hand.

To be a success

With our Dixieland band.

 

To travel the world

And be part of nature.

To have every friend

In one big picture.

 

To swim in the ocean

And not be afraid.

To use medical training

To come to one's aid.

 

To own a small house

And a giant one too.

To be honest as I can

To always be true.

 

To try new things

Without shying away.

To be the same person

When my hair turns gray.

 

To live my life to the fullest

No matter what interferes

And promise myself

To hold back the tears.

 

Nothing can change

Who I am today.

Let us just hope

I don’t change much along the way.
