My Make Believe Life

A thought by D.K. Parker

I wish I lived the life that people speak of
True, I have had many wonderful experiences

But most never realize that I am envious of them
Their life and their families

Yes I love my life
And I live each day as another adventure

But I have given up certain things
Things I often wish I had

The love of a wife
And children to call me Dad

Perhaps one day I will have both
But I wonder how or if it will even happen

I am an adventure
Never settling into one place very long

I only hope and pray that one day I will find her
The one that is that special someone

The one I will spend the rest of my life with
The mother of my children

One day my life will be grand
Grand as those who talk about my adventures

Until then the journey of my life continues
Who knows what tomorrow will bring
