Summer Awaits, But Then Again...

My Ode to the Sea

And with a stroke of luck I am handed a few extras,
i will surely want to stay for a day or two by the sea,
to be content with only you and me.

The good sea, in all its majesty,
Awaits for me patiently.

But for now it cannot be,
since the 2 of our offsprings, to school they will be.
This June, it's the 2 of them I mind,
I cannot dig up my pocket as deep as I can find.

So the good sea will remain to me, one desire my heart longs for,
But when the kids are fine and God opens the door,
The sea I will conquer and maybe even more.

Days of rest are days of best,
When I am with you, the kids in our nest.

These happy days are here to stay,
and will bring to me the better pay...
You, me, and them...just living, simply happy.



And with the good sea, I mean: 1) Coron, Palawan
2) Bantayan Island, Cebu
3) Boracay Island, Aklan


So, soonest as I hope, i will content myself with Samal Island, Davao. For me, the next best thing to the good sea!
