nothing profound just saying some goodbyes and hellos




I'm Going Home

It is 6:30 am Tuesday, Aug. 6 the beginning of my last day of my month long vacation in Florida. Since I left a month ago, I gained a year in age, tanned an aging body, and felt the love of the Bay. Since I told you I was leaving, now I tell you I am returning. Silly to some I suppose, but how can I be anything but me?

 

I'm going home
leaving the palms behind me
waving goodbye to the sea
as the waves roll eternally
I'm going home

I'm going home
to daughers, sons, and grands
to sisters and brothers and
shaking my shoes of sand
I'm going home

I'm going home
catching flight 6-9-0
praying that safely I go
thankfully thinking so
I'm going home

Home is definitely where the heart is Kathy, and you describe that going home feeling after a holiday, so so well, it is just so good to read, thanks for making me smile, I assume you got there safely then? Smiling at you, Tai

Welcome home dear sister Kathy
to the bay!

I have missed you
and I think the rest of us do it
to . . .

Fly home in peace and hug
your family then write aboute the
palms and the sand and post it
in the blue sea and it will return
to us on the bay just to say hey

You are finaly home . . .

bets wishes to you,Dan
