A PLACE I CALL MY CASTLE

by R.S.Robinson


_______________

                                                                     I once had a castle
                                                                     a fortress strong and tall
                                                                     I would look out my bastion
                                                                     looking for my love, my all

                                                                     I would send out my signals
                                                                     so that a maiden fair would see
                                                                     I looked for my juliet
                                                                     oh where could she be

                                                                     I summoned up the wisest men
                                                                     that my money could possibly buy
                                                                     I could not find a single girl
                                                                     I must find out why

                                                                     As I listened to these wise men
                                                                     whom talked of better words
                                                                     I suddenly realized it was the walls
                                                                     that kept my words unheard

                                                                     I tore down the mighty walls
                                                                     and invited the people in
                                                                     I set my banquet table
                                                                     and let "life" begin

                                                                     The people started coming
                                                                     first only a few
                                                                     but as the time started to pass
                                                                     then I knew that it was true

                                                                     My walls had kept my message
                                                                     from reaching the needed ears
                                                                     I only needed to tear down the walls
                                                                     and my love would soon come near

                                                                     My love and I Now I live
                                                                     within the modest walls that we own
                                                                     I still have my castle
                                                                     but now my castle is my home
