Home Away From Home

The morning train whistles A small town on a big mountain Treats from a small bakery An arch of plants forming a walkway Lemon, lime and orange trees Water glistens in the pool behind the apartments The waft of tropical flowers is like a burst of happiness Writing "Jesus Loves You" in the sand with my sister The beaches stretch out as far as a million football fields Watching dogs play at parks Frozen yogurt with family Blue climbing structures Acting like little kids Me and my sister Lots of laughs on long sunset beach strolls with family Me and adorable Misty on her leash taking early morning walks We play on the beach She runs, I chase Warm welcomes of breeze and stars as I step out of the airport The waves hugging me as I jump into the water Wandering through all the different little shops Home is California
