Abiding Memories of My Dear Place

There is a place I simply love
one which is simply so wonderful
sits on southern point of English lakes
Grange-over-Sands is my hidden jewel

It's a lovely quiet dear place
not many shops or amenities to view
but nice lake to watch ducks swim by
not very large but each time seems anew

There's such nice long walk
right along the front esplanade
your hair breezes in the wind
blue sky shines before sun does fade

First holidayed there way back in '88
gave me such peaceful joyful state
then a year later decided to return
when I did write letter ask girl for date

The next time that I visited this place
it was with that girl on our honeymoon
we've visited often over the years
abiding memories we have under its moon

When celebrating silver anniversary
recently returned to memorise anew
thinking was 25 years so long ago
it just seems like yesterday times flew

G.O.S. you're indeed specially dear
for myself you stir deep within
such a glow staying at its peak
truly to love you I've fallen

(We all have a favourite place we love and always go back to, so this is written about mine.
