At Home in the Library

I do not want a throne to sit on and command.

I do not want a green garden full of roses

I do not want the latest phone to talk with my friends

For me not the Luxury Boat to cruise in comfort

Nor do I want that fancy car to show off to my friends

Do I care for a home with the most modern gadgets

Or a sophisticated cabin with modern amenities?

Just give me a single room

With one open window to the breathe fresh air

And the other sides blocking me from the world

But holding its essence in a library of books.
