My Town
My kind of town is a village by the sea.
Where we grew up, my siblings and me.
Roaming free from dawn 'till dusk.
Home for evening tea, as we must.
Summers by the beach, paddling, swimming.
Diving off the pier, strongest swimmers winning.
Music playing from our Music Shop.
Or Mum in our Pharmacy, while caring for us lot.
School overlooking beautiful bay.
Taken for granted as we went outside to play.
Friendships we made then still going strong.
It's amazing how well we all get along.
Hitching a lift to local dances.
Slapping the hands of boys taking chances.
Would love to be a child again.
In that old fashioned world, way back when.
