    Build a Life

    I don't want to 
    Build a house
    I want to buy a house
    And build a life
    I want to make memories
    In a house
    I want to fill it with miss-matched 
    Furniture 
    Bought cheap from estate sales
    And piece together a life
    Until it feels like a home
    I want to raise a family
    In a home
    And watch them grow up
    Safe within
    The same few walks
    From birth
    Until graduation
    I want to grow old
    With my husband
    Hobbling up the stairs
    Assisting one another
    In our old age
    Reminiscing on the olden days
    And gazing around
    The home we've built
    Remembering the memories
    In the places we can touch 
    Most of all
    I want to build a life
    In a home
    I won't have to leave 
    Until death do us part
