The Cottage


Someday I will write About the pain I see today Someday I will fight Let my pen lead the way Someday the world will see My grief and my strife Someday I will complete My purpose in life Someday my pen Will write into life a forest Someday-- only then Will this dream regain my focus Someday I will build A charity from words Someday I will protect The innocent from hurt Someday I'll leave a legacy A girl and a saint Someday a cottage Is all that will remain
