Today I was walking along a wooded path and <br />What a beautiful mahogany fence, I saw! <br />Sunlight cast its shadows of the evergreens <br />Upon its posts- <br />I could see prestigious homes beyond its confinement- <br />A fence like that would enhance the beauty of <br />The acre of land about my home- <br />I stood in awe. <br />Alas, the gate to this fence was locked, <br />And too high for me to ever climb over- <br />Again something I would desire but could never <br />Have had for myself- so many miles away- <br />All I could do was to walk away, <br />To escape from all that is real, as I have no key to a better life- <br />So I shall close my eyes and run away inside the world of my dreams.<br /><br />Claudia Krizay<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-better-life/
