Wants in life

I want a new cellphone,
an iphone or HTC would be nice.
Elegant yet functional,
the apple of my eye.

I want a new laptop,
4GB RAM and all.
The gadget that leaves geeks drooling,
the object of my desire.

I want a new life,
a sky so free and shackles off my feet.
A world so perfect and nice,
the land serenaded by melodious choruses of happiness.

Yet all he asks for is to drive,
no matter a Bentley or a Cherry QQ.
A simple carriage in these modern times,
to take his family for a spin and mend the broken ties.

I heard a true story about a friend,
a friend I've grown to respect.

Sometimes....the things one desire to have seems to matter so much...yet in fact we could all just be missing out on the greatest gift of all....life.
