Know When To Hold Them.
Prices going up or going down I really do not know
it's not something that causes me concern.
A buyers or a sellers market does not turn my head
when to buy or sell is something that you learn.
I brought a house out in the country about ten years ago
was a lovely place with room to spread my wings
House prices were so stable that to buy was not a burden
and the country life brought with it sweeter things.
Three acres, not a big place by any ones idea
but big enough to justify the move.
Some chickens and some fruit trees, a nursery out the back
I quickly settled down into the groove.
I landscaped all the front block with weeping willow trees
and golden wattles spaced out in between
Flowing beds of beautiful gazanias cascading over stones
a place that's fit for any King or Queen.
Iceberg roses on the verandas with creeping violets on the frames
a lovely place to sit and dream a while.
Squatters chairs just to relax in at the end of every day
the memory will always bring a smile.
But things were not as peaceful as the gardens and surrounds
and the future meant that time would see it sold.
I've never gone back for a visit even to this very day
the memories they are just something I will hold.
The bloke who brought it from me said he'd watched it for some time
and loved to watch the colours there unfold.
A white wedding for his daughter would be held in it's surrounds
and to pick it up so cheap was just like gold.
Ah well you know I reckon that's the way life tends to be
the plans you make can always go astray.
Sometimes I dream I'm out there soaking up the summer sun.
but dreams can find a way to slip away.
