A PLACE IN YOUR HEART

By Ashley Rice

I would like to have a house with a window
to the sea and a tiny garden right outside.
I’d sit out front and listen to the trees
and smile as the world went by…

I would like to have a place with a window
to your heart, so I would know what you
were feeling all the time. I’d watch your days
and listen to your dreams and give you
part of everything that’s mine.

I would like to have a house with a window
to the sea and a place in your heart next to mine.
By the window, I’d give you my only key,
so you could come and visit anytime.

I would like to give you a place in my heart,
right next to the wind and the sea.
I’d sit outside on the front porch and wait…

and smile when I saw you coming.
