Poetry

I read a comment about possibly moving back Home when the kids are bit older - after they've had a good educational foundation built in mainland schools. Made me dream. 

I am doing a 30 Day song challenge on Facebook and today's theme is a song that reminds me of a place. Not so hard. 

Na Leo Pilimehana "I Miss You My Hawaii"

I hear the wind traveling down the Ko'olau

It touches my skin and makes me think of 

how much I miss you, my Hawaii

I breathe the fragrance of the yellow ginger lei

I look inside myself to find the words to say

How much I miss you, my Hawaii

Everytime I stop to watch the moon dance 

across the early evening sky

Everytime I hear a country tune I can see the 

shores of Wai'anae 

Everytime I listen to my heart telling me it longs

to go back home

And it makes me want to 

Cause I miss you, my Hawaii

I catch the glimmer of your face across the sky

I watch the setting sun and I begin to cry

Because I miss you, my Hawaii

I rest my head upon the sands of Waikiki

I close my eyes and I hear you calling me

How I miss you, my Hawaii
