My field of dreams is not a place of rainbows

Nor filled with happy, laughing, noisy throngs

Their gaiety and laughter so abounding

It rings within my head for hours long

I don’t want yells and screams of celebration

There wouldn’t be the pealing of loud bells

No fairy floss, no ice cream cones or carousels

Against those things I’d feel my soul rebel

There wouldn’t be dark clouds on the horizon

No threat, no fear, no sadness to be had

No cowering, afraid of accusations

No panic, terrified of being bad

Instead I crave a lonely silvery silence

Where there is no-one else, but only me

Standing in the distance, watching waves break

Upon the sands of life, my mortal sea

No one to love, and thus no hearts to break

And no one else to love me in return

For my life has been filled with just such turmoil

And so I want this peace that I have earned

I’ve lived and loved, I’ve fought, I’ve raised a family

Done everything expected, and still more

I’ve given of myself and had it taken

I simply cannot bear it any more

So please allow me solitude and peace

The serenity of the mists for which I long

You’ll never find me there, and I’ll be grateful

For that’s exactly where I know that I belong.

If the world could give me only one special person�?/P>

I would want that person to be someone I could share a real understanding with;

Someone I could be completely open and honest with;

Someone who had qualities I admired;

Someone whose interests and outlooks were interwoven with mine.

I would want that special person to bring the gift of laughter to my heart,

And to have no fear of crying on my shoulder.

I would want that person to be a reason for me to smile through the seasons of my life.

I would want that person to be the joy in many of my best memories, and the thankful thought that tomorrow will always be happy, too.

If the world could give me only one special person�?/P>

I would want that person to be you.
