What’s your dream?<\/p>\n
My dream is
\nto own my own home,
\nin the country,
\nsurrounded by a forest
\nof green trees,
\nand no neighbors
\nfor miles.<\/p>\n
To have an entertainment center,
\na big one, with a TV and stereo,
\nand DVD player,
\nso we can entertain guests
\nwhen they come over
\nand watch movies
\nwith us.<\/p>\n
To have a big stereo
\nthat goes all through the house,
\nso wherever I go,
\nI can hear music.
\nI want it to be big, and loud,
\nso I can fill my body
\nwith music,
\nand sing at the top of my lungs
\nand still be heard only by me.<\/p>\n
To work at being creative,
\nI’m an artist at heart,
\nbut my medium
\nis a little strange.
\nComputers and configurations,
\nare my canvas.
\nFor each network I set up,
\nfor each database I build,
\nto me, it’s art, in the design.
\nOrder vs. Chaos.
\nThat is always my theme.
\nSometimes I use paper
\nto express myself,
\nwriting stories,
\nand sometimes poems,
\nand on very rare occasions,
\ndrawing pictures
\nof spaceships and sailor scouts.<\/p>\n
To live with you, Amanda,
\nthe one I love,
\nwaking up each morning
\neager to see you.
\nEach moment during the day
\nthat we are apart
\nis spent in anticipation
\nof when we meet again.
\nGoing to sleep at night,
\nsecure, happy, content,
\nwith you next to me.<\/p>\n
This is my dream.<\/p>\n
