Just reminiscing, planning, and thought I'd share some thoughts I had. It's just a random writing, not edited so it is what it is...

Oh Hawaii, how I miss thee
Obsessed since my visit
When the call of 'Aloha' kissed me

Since I was born, not like the others
But when that plane touched down,
I felt kinship like no other.

If the earth is our Mother,
then Hawaii be her love,
her comfort, and her caring.

Everything about you, wrinkles and all,
is perfect for me. With your blessing
and my determination, I would like to
one day call you 'home'.

Very, very nice. Mahalo for sharing that.

When I stepped off the plane on my first trip to Hawaii, and every other trip there, I felt as though I had just come home.

Thanks Mickey, wasn't sure about sharing it but what the heck. I'm a dork like that. I can't possibly imagine being able to live somewhere any better. Granted I haven't been to a ton of places, but I know what I like and don't like, so this is an easy one for me.

Hmmmm, maybe you should add music and turn it into a song.

Lovely sentiment, although it has overtones of planning to live somewhere only experienced during a vacation. I'm sure you can get advice elsewhere on the forum about the problems of choosing to live somewhere with false expectations and the results thereof. Your poem would make a nice song, though!

Yeah I'm surely aware of how it sounds for that. Fwiw I've done hours upon hours of research for a potential move, and I haven't made any moves yet. But I'm not trying to be snarky either, just to throw it out there.

Don't know if I'll make a song of it though, least not for now. Maybe sometime. Thanks for the comments folks.
