home but this year, I think a hiatus in the sun will be
much more preferred over the sleet and snow.
Oh, to steal away from the gray haze and hubbub
of the city, to an emerald isle with warmth and beauty
just this once, I deserve it!
I can't wait to canter along the shore on horseback
with the sun on my back and the wind in my hair,
racing along unhindered having left worries behind.
Just to watch the waves tumble, and recede
back from whence they came, and find little
treasures nestled in the sand.
The idea was hatched by my handsome sweetie,
while we sipped herbal tea one dreary night last
month.
I called and told the folks, Happy holidays-
Enjoy the presents, I promise to send a postcard!
I have a hunch the whole family is jealous!
