“Wishes”
Some may wish for city streets, jewels or silken gowns
Some may crave unbounded wealth, fame or beauty’s crown;
Some may long for sunny paths that lure the pleasure bent-
But simpler things by far than these would keep my soul content.
A bit of God’s green country, with the blue sky overhead;
A tiny shack, white curtained; on the sill, a posy red;
A laughing, chubby baby, playing inside on the floor,
And a little flower garden, growing near the open door.
A table set for supper, fresh fruit, and honeycomb,
Little breezes whispering, “Your man’s a comin’ home.”
Simple things, with love and faith-far from worldly strife,
God granting these, before I die, I’d ask no more of life.
Poem “Wishes” by A.C. Childs, from the book “Poems that Touch the Heart”

beautiful! well done.
I have a question that is totally unrelated to this entry. I am on a website looking for exterior paint colors and the one I love is linked to your blog but I am not finding it anywhere. I have however read a few of your inspired and beautiful entries and your blog is delightful! If you happen to be the past owner of this house and know what the color pallet was I would love to have it. I find greige such a difficult color to get right! Thank you in advance…
