As One Guest Said...
You stole my heart,
So much in fact, it's hard to part.
The calming ripples of the river,
The trees and water call 'come hither'.
A happy place to sit and stare,
No worries here, no time to care
About the daily woe's and dread
And when I finally go to bed,
I dream of coming back to stay -
maybe again come next May.
I can only hope to once again,
Relish in it all and then,
to revisit this place of peace and joy
And shout to all the boats 'Ahoy'.
