Molokai is where I want to be
When I get to travel overseas
Fresh air and gentle breeze
Immediately I am at ease
Molokai is where I want to be
I am filled with serenity at the beach
Ocean mist spraying my face
If I could go anywhere, this the place
Molokai is where I want to be
Peacefully looking out to sea
Palm trees swaying in the wind
Seeing faces holding grins
Molokai is where I want to be
Smells of flowers and seaweed
Molokai is where I want to be
But once I’m there, I may not leave
Of course there are reasons not to go
You never get to see the snow
Frost does not touch this place
You would never compete in a skiing race
Oh my! There are some giant bugs
Underneath my mats, and rugs
Oh dear! There is a big, fat rat
What I need now is a hungry cat
Hi Talia! what a beautiful poem. It really shows how much you love this island and takes the reader there along side you. I love how you shared what you’d miss from home if you did stay. You missed saying family;-) Anyway it also made me think of our trip together there when you were just 4! keep writing poetry and taking pictures. Love you dearly niece!
