Homestead Heaven
There is a little island,
in the lake of reality.
It is quite a small one,
with a population of none.
The lake is large and deep,
full of secrets, it must keep.
It's a long journey, I assure;
dark, lonely, with hardships endured.
If you don't drown in the lake,
a little solitude, you can make.
I made it here upon the sand,
I'm building a home on this island.
