A Table

I have everything nature can give

Everything that my eyes can see

All the rocks and mountains in my palm

And the whole sky in my ceiling

I sleep in soft grass with feather pillows

With friends who don't walk with two legs

I wake up then sleep the wake up again

True that life's fun, at least for me

I dreamed of things that all people have

A bed, a chair, a plate, and cool clothes

A spoon with a fork and a meat to slice

And things I want when I grow up

Someday I want a room for my own

My own table to design and lean on

And write new poems in my heart's content

This is my dream for I hope it'll happen.

Author's Note

This poem is very random, I live with my aunts and grandfather and I sleep in a folding bed in our living room, I don't have my own room and I want so badly, and I also want to have my own table. So this is what I came up with, i hope you'll like it. Thank You.

Don't know why I found this piece so incredibly upsetting considering all the positive feelings within... This was fabulously done so please don't get me wrong. But when I look at this poem what I see is complete simplicity, just an ache for something as small as having your own room and a table to write upon... A table, Christian... When we live in a world so full of people who want all these fancy things, everything that shimmers and glitters like gold, never happy with the old when they can purchase the newest of toys that in a week they will bore with... And you'd be elated to have a table... You're sheer selflessness could make me cry for ages. It's so refreshing... So wonderful to see that there are still people left in this world who can be joyful even when having so little. You see only that which matters the most and truly ask for nothing... I utterly applaud you. Applaud this piece. Just amazing!

With time and your own work, one day you can have all of those things and more. For now just thank God that you do have a place to lie your head. Many people in the world are homeless. Valentine

I liked the above lines. I would liked a private place for writing someday. Thank you Christian for sharing the amazing poetry.
