All I Ever Want
***
All I ever want are these,
the things that sing and make me merry,
simple things that always please:
cherry trees and honey bees,
a tin of truffles, Taylor sherry;
all I ever want are these,
homemade bread and cheddar cheese,
a feather bed, a bright canary,
simple things that always please:
dinner parties, memories
with friends alive and literary.
All I ever want are these,
love amidst a summer breeze,
a floral garden sanctuary--
simple things that always please:
a symphony of subtleties,
though tastes may change and whims will vary.
All I ever want are these:
simple things that always please.
