What I Ask of Life ~ A Poem by Alex Posey

What I Ask of Life

Alex Posey

I ask no more of life than sunset’s gold;
   A cottage hid in songbird’s neighborhood,
   Where I may sing and do a little good,
For love and pleasant mem’ries when I’m old.

If life hath this in store for me—
   A spot where coarse souls enter not,
Or strife—I’m sure there cannot be
   On earth a fairer heaven sought.
