wanted . . . time |
by grace allard morse |
time to have my close friends in |
to drink a cup of tea |
time to read the book of verse |
my sister sent to me. |
time to sort my linens out |
and stack them in neat rows |
time to look my scrapbook o'er |
and work with rhyme and prose. |
time to bake some muffins |
for the boy who mows our lawn |
time to listen to the lark |
at morning's early dawn. |
time to cut the pink roses |
for a neighbor living near |
time to plan the garden |
i have wanted for a year. |
time to breakfast leisurely |
and scan the paper through . . . |
time, just to do the things |
i really want to do. |
