as I stand there with her
\nmy muse
\nin Portsmouth
\non the waterfront
\nmy eyes and thoughts
\ntogether
\nlook northeast
\nbeyond the building tops
\nof Norfolk
\nwhere my sight
\nbegins to fade
\nand gives way
\nto my mind’s eye
\nwhich transports
\nmy thoughts
\nalong the ocean’s edge
\nuntil coming to rest
\nin Boston…..
\nit is there I wish
\nas I daydream
\nlike the shy young boy
\nI was
\nwhen I
\nfirst met her
\nif I asked her
\nat this moment
\nto come stay
\nwith me there
\nso to care for her
\nshe would joyfully
\nsay yes….<\/p>\n
suddenly\u00a0 ~\u00a0 I hear
\nmy father’s words
\nyep \u00a0~\u00a0 whispering
\nfrom the cloudy
\nheavens above<\/p>\n
