Home Sweet Home

Haven for my weary soul,
On a beach beside the sea.
Mystical and magical as
Every home should be.

Safe, secure, serene,
Waiting at end of day.
Eagerly anticipated in
Each and every way.
This is the place I'll stay.

Home is where my heart is.
Ocean at my feet.
My life, content and happy.
Every dream complete.

Reading this reminded me of Elizabeth Taylor in "The Sandpiper". Very pretty collection of words.

Beautiful Francine, I think the ocean's music is like a lullaby and cradles the listner in its voice. So glad you are fortunate enough to have this sound to listen to.
