Where the Sun Always Shines

I really do love the land of France
but especially along the Riviera coast
where it's so beautiful and lovely
it's an area one can really boast

Many artists spend there lots of time
such colourful scenes to feast upon
stroking their brushes so skillfully
the colours shine from dusk to dawn

So much peace for one to experience
all anxieties just slowly fade away
take in its remarkable calming effect
this is where you wish you could stay

Ultimately the sunshine loves it too
for it stays there most of the year
beaming down on its golden sand
stay there tanning you so very dear

I haven't mentioned any of its places
all so lovely really so many to mention
the calming influences that draw you there
such beauty enraptures your full attention
