Nova Scotia Paradise
Oh ‘tis a blessed day upon our shore
…where the rocks and waves collide
Seagulls scream their welcome songs
…as neath summer’s sun they glide
The smell of the fire on the beach
…joins the smell of the salt in the air
Clams are a steamin’, mussels are bakin’
…tis indeed a down-home atmosphere
‘Tis grand indeed to feel a sea breeze
…as guitar and songs start to play
Old stories are shared of days long ago
…and of ones nay more with us today
Now the dusk calls to the night
A setting suns sure to delight
You’ll sip your wee spot of steeped tea
God bless this our home
Nay, I never no more will roam
From Nova Scotia sweet place by the sea
Always, Myrna

One place I'd love to see. I can smell the fire, feel the salt breeze and most of all how you love your homeland. Lovely testament to it all.

(((HUGS))) and much love, your friend in Tx., Karen Lynn. :D
Having never experienced Nova Scotia, you've taken me there in beautiful, engaging verse; this could be an anthem. Well done!
(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.
And Leroy (growing up we always called him Leroy), the beach parties, clam bakes, and the clam digging and family picnics at Three Fatham Harbour, Mom's egg salad (God, I hate onion). Mom brewing the tea over an open fire and then cleaning the soot off afterwards by rubbing the pots in the sand. Nine kids packed into the station wagon or whatever old car dad had at the time, the Sunday drives down to Eastern Passage or Cow Bay and stopping for ice cream or pop. Life was a treat.
Yes, this poem has brought tears to my eyes, but I'll be home again this year and with God's blessing in five or six more years it'll be a one way trip back to the salt air and sea breezes of home.
I have to go dry my eyes now, I can't see what I'm typing,
Lov ya bro,

God Bless,
