If We Had Everything Poem by Audrey Heller

If we, had everything in life, that we wanted,
what would we look forward to? Our life would
be boring, with nothing much to do. No more
shopping, for that something special to wear,
because you have everything, already there!
The house you always wanted, now you occupy,
there's no more looking around, or making bids,
to buy. Even that special car, this too, you now
own, it's equipped, with just about everything,
including a telephone. You can take trips, all
over the world, eat in the finest restaurants,
wherever you go. But deep down inside you're
lonely, as it's only there for show! I'd rather have
a simple life and work, for what I need. It may
be strange to hear it, but this, I'm going to
heed!
