LIFE'S FANTASY

Once upon a dry tired land
There sat upon it a knarled old man

He pondered deep his biggest regret
About the woman he loved, but never had met

Her hair was red like the fires of hell
Her eyes were as dark as a deep cold well

Her temper short, but her will very strong
Taking control, caring 'bout no one

All his life he had wondered what that life would have been
Had he found her, and let her control him within

Now this man had a wife who was nature's pure soul
With hair of light brown and a heart of pure gold

He never denied not a day of her love
But cound never forget the fantasy from above

She loved him undying even gave him a child
And during that time his thought were really quite mild

Now after lifetime of love and respect
His wife has passed on and his daughter has left

And here as his life draws close to an end
He thinks of that lifestyle yet once again

Did he ever appreciate all that he had?
Or did he just wonder was more could be had

Interesting story written here.  A Fantasy unfulfilled, but maybe for the best.
Nice writing.
