I Have Been There

On the beach, out of reach, on an island under the sun.
     I have felt the warm sand and drank in the smell of the sea.

I have been there.

In the country, out of reach, at the barn under the sun.
     I have felt the grass, smelled the hay, admired country flowers.

I have been there.

In the city and downtown...on the main streets, the side streets under
the sun.
     I have felt the culture, smelled the cuisine, drank in the wine and
the arts.

I have been there in your hearts.....  It only looks worlds apart!



This is written for friends and family who continue to inspire me in my life.   We are never promised a tomorrow and it is good always to drink in the life we have with all our might!  I am so grateful for all our beautiful places under the sun.
