My happy place...

Fire ignites the inky dark sky

flickering flames turn black to gray

my soul is stirred and uplifted

as the sun turns night into day

I love to watch the rising sun

from the windows of our home

or from that mountain above the clouds

where we stood in the morning glow;

or on that beach we'll never forget

where it rose up from the sea

as we stood wrapped in a blanket

hugging on that tiny balcony.

Though ever delighted to watch the dawn

my happiest place will always be

wherever I am...

if you are with me.
