Cobh

I dreamt I was there again
At that seaport town serene
Walking along the cobblestone
And the many shades of green
Saint Colman's Cathedral on the hill
I stopped and attended Mass
People were so friendly there
Saying hello as I would pass
A Guiness stout in a local pub
Then I saw some children at play
And the sight of the meadows and the hills
Would take my breath away
I may never get the chance to see it again
This city that felt so right
But I'll close my eyes and go in dreams
To Ireland every night.

I can relate to your longing for that cathedral and pub at Cobh. That search for home in our dreams is ephemeral, but can to made real with a seat on an airplane. I hope you make your dream a reality. Kudos.
