Growing Up Beside the Sea
I wrote this in memory of Mom & Dad. I hope you like it. I love Downhome; I save all my copies. Thank you again.
My folks are gone & still I miss them.
No more their faces I will see.
How I miss the years I lived there
Growing up by the sea.
If I could only go back to them
My little home I long to see
& see again the friends I played with
Growing up beside the sea.
I am older now since first I lived there
Many changes I can see
How I know about the changes
Downhome brings the news to me.
If I could only go back to them
& walk once more beside the sea
Hear my mother gently calling
"Come home come home it's time for tea."
