Sanctuary

I know that we're not royalty
but you will always be my Queen
we'll build a kingdom on a farm
where nature can be safe from harm


days start, and end without a care
we'll sip our drinks in comfy chairs
200 acres, maybe more
where we won't have to lock our doors


Two stories set down way up high
bay windows let the light inside
and we'll keep negativity at bay
in our secluded hideaway


there's nothing I would rather do
then live out all my dreams with you
somewhere we've  been dreaming of
a place that's filled with dogs, and love


a garden with a greenhouse view
where we can grow a lot of food
and rooms for guests, not far away
that's big enough for 10 to stay


rooms in a circle so they flow
a skylight to let in the glow
and in the circle, we'll stay cool
relaxing in our private pool


we'll build a fountain by the spring
so all our animals can drink
we'll have a corn maze in the fall
and festivals to fund it all


and there will be so much to do,
so separate houses for our crew
and as for rules, we'll have just one
do what ye will, so it harms none


it's far away, but in my sights
a place we'll just call paradise
we'll give our love and space to roam
to animals that need a home


a library with lots of nooks
we'll fill with all our favorite books
and we'll have lots of flowers, too
and lavender fields just for you


when Christmas comes,
we'll both take pride
in lighting up the countryside
our love of lights on full display
we'll have the perfect holidays


I know it seems like just a dream
but it's much closer than it seems
open your heart and take my hand
and I can make you understand


it's far away, but in my sights
a place that I call paradise
it always has a lovely view
it's anywhere when I'm with you
