Things I Don’t Want
I live a pretty simple life
That’s either by design
Or by circumstance-
Either way - I’m happy
And that got me thinking
About all the things
People say they want
To have a fabulous life
For me it’s the opposite
It’s the things I don’t want-
That makes my life great
Because I’ve been lucky-
I’ve had the chance to see some amazing things
Taste the finest wines
Fly on private jets
Live in ultimate luxury
And travel to far away places
And sure everyone likes nice things-
But the things don’t make the dream
It’s that sharing that does
The having some one with you
To share the moments
Is much better than any thing you may have
A beach house is great
But an empty beach house is lonely
A fast car is fine
But 120 mph alone – Is still alone
So I traded the nice stuff
To see if I could focus on the little moments
That makes up the dream
Where the real happiness lies
It’s a bit of a risk
But one worth taking
Because if you get it – you’ll know
That the real dream is one, shared by two
