Lahaina, Hawaii

LaHaina

So far away 
But near my heart

So long ago 
Drawing a memory strong

There by a young mans adventure
Still there now an old mans dreams

A very sweet nostalgic tone to this poem, Nigel. Couldn't help but think of the song "Bali Hai" from the musical "South Pacific." The island of Bali Hai could just as easily have been LaHaina -- it fits the mood of the song so well. Great work! Love, Carolyn
