Building Blocks

I bought a red balloon,

Just to brighten my day.

I built a castle out of memories,

Just to have somewhere to stay.

I fused windows out of good intentions,

Which you can see right through.

I tailored a suit from good deeds,

Which I quickly outgrew.

I planted some seeds of ideas,

to see what would grow.

I compiled a library of daydreams,

to discover all I've yet to know.

I assembled a table out of love,

on which to rest my cup.

But I'm still looking for the right person

to fill it right up.

I filled my mattress with yearning,

So I could sleep next to hope.

To give me the strength

with which to cope.
