All I Ever Wanted Poem by David Harris
All I Ever Wanted
All I ever wanted was a peaceful life,
but all I ever got was trouble
and a lot of strife.
I wanted at times
was to be left alone in my own company,
but always people wanted to crowd me,
for what reason I’m not sure.
I still long for peace and quiet
something I never seem to get.
I want to sit and dream at times
without being disturbed.
However, that is easier said than done
for every quiet moment I seem to get
someone wants to disturb it with endless chatter
I don’t care much about.
So I close my ears
and hope that they will go away.

Not allowed in this modern world, if they are not in your face there on the phone, even if you've got the sign up do not disturb... Andy 10
But David, don't you find that once it goes all quiet you wonder where they all went? Double-edged sword I'm afraid! Though I too crave a bit of solitude every now and again. HG: -) xx
D, I think you have put perfectly (as so often) how we all feel from time to time. But please tell me you aren't feeling like this..... hugs. t x
