With Lapping Ocean Water At My Feet

With Lapping Ocean Water At My Feet With lapping ocean water at my feet as I stroll along the sandy beach edge, I await the princess I vowed to meet there to fulfill my lifelong solemn pledge. Journeying there, to far flung foreign shore apprehension in eager heart and soul In my sad life, I could not ask for more than find her there, wherein gentle waves roll. Dancing sunny day in the month of May together we walk with joy, hand in hand An answer to the sweet prayers I did pray answered on white beach of that foreign land. When pleading request met blessed ending My sincere thanks, my heart soon was sending. Robert J.

YES IT IS. My first trip to the Philippines and to meet my future wife in person.. Everything went splendidly, I stayed 32 days, spent everyone of those days with her. Leaving to fly home was one of the saddest days in my life--but 6 months later she was here and we got married.. I am truly blessed..
