Dreams of Italy

Golden plush juicy olives filled with colors sea bright  
from the southern border tall beautiful daisies
that remind me of my mother's floral dress of paisleys    
Alpine mountains that echo my father's youthful sight  
and an ocean so blue it takes my breath away,    
                                               we were married in a little church not far away 
                                    then together we sailed across the sea 
                       Oh Beautiful Italy, 
             remember us, remember me.

So beautiful! Very nice descriptive writing. It must have been difficult for my grandparents to leave and come to America. They fished and raised crops. Very little their homeland could not provide for them. But they had their good reasons I guess. Joe.
