i want an old dog that loves me.
a cracked mug that says "worlds best dad",
a phonograph playing a scratched "moonlight serenade"
while my wife dances slowly next to me.
i want a house that smells of cookies and freshly baked bread,
and grandkids yelling in the background as they squabble over toys.
i want to paint my walls green, lavender, navy, and black.
and do it again.
not to decorate, just cuz it's fun.
i want my car to die,
then buy a new one and see that one die, too.
i'd like to be the handyman,
to pretend like i know how to fix household appliances,
but eventually call the technicians.
i want to be able to laugh, cry, sing, and dance with her forever.
and for her to be satisfied with the same.
i'd like to grow like a tree, soaking in the sun.
to grow old physically,
to grow young mentally.
to laugh in the face of death, and to shake my fist against the winds of fate.
i'll be the old man in the nursing home, playing bingo and CHOO CHOO-ing when i win.
yeah, i'd like that....alot.

are these lyrics to a country song? reminds me of "just another day in paradise" or "it's a great day to be alive".
i was just writing what was on my mind at the time.
