If one would offer me a million dollars

for my daughter and one for my son

I would keep both fruits of my passion...

If one would pay me one more for

my love of arts I would keep my love...

If one would insist trading a million for

my inspiration I would keep my Muse...

In all the places that I have loved and lived

I have never had a million dollars view

like this one in the heart of Pennsylvania

Pensive mornings unfold golden keys for

eternal bliss as I gaze onto the farm across

on my porch birds of many colors reveal

a way to tranquility never felt before except in

sacred places I have kissed around the world

It is within this affluence my life is

more paradoxical than ever before as my sunset

is witness to one dream coming true.
