Desires by Connie Peters

After "I Ask You" by Billy Collins

A Golden Shovel poem

Sometimes I wonder what

I would have if I could have anything. I picture it like a scene

from a movie. I would be thin and rich and riding along in my sports car. I would

be cruising by the ocean on a spring day. I

would have the radio turned up, not a care in the world. I would want

a companion or two, perhaps a different one every day from past friends to

my current relationships. I would be

happy and occupied in writing things I want to write and enveloped

in a life that’s fun and fulfilling. I’d go kayaking in
the ocean and have beach parties in the sand with guitars playing and more

delicious food than I could possibly eat. But better than

that would be living whatever life, knowing God designed me to do this.
