Island In the Sea

Island

                                 There is an island in the sea, 
                                 Its where my heart longs to be.
                                 People are friendly and so care free,
                                 Its a place you will love, just you wait and see.

                                 Your very first trip there will take you back in time,
                                 Horse drawn carts and old buildings that look so fine.
                                 As you pass by a stranger on the street they may say,
                                 Come in for a tea and a bite, before your on your way.

                                 Its a small mining town, down by the bay,
                                 To see it all would only take but a day.
                                 In that day you would make plenty of friends,
                                 The next day you just start over again.

                                 In my younger years i had travelled away,
                                 But i hope to return there soon one day.
                                 If you should join me on my trip back home,
                                 I know in your heart you will never feel alone.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
