Heaven on Earth <br /> <br /> Newfoundland is my haven <br /> A place I want to be<br /> To smell the fresh sea air<br /> As I lay down by the sea<br /> <br /> The salty mist is welcome<br /> As it rolls in from the sea<br /> The foggy shores are heaven<br /> Heaven sent to me<br /> <br /> Just let me lie in earth's sweet breast<br /> When my days are ore and done<br /> Remembering all the fun we had<br /> Together one with one<br /> <br /> There's not a day goes by my son<br /> I don't wish I was there with you on deck<br /> Hauling the trap and gutting the fish<br /> And doing it right by heck<br /> <br /> At the end of the day when we start for home<br /> With the sun setting ore the aft quarter<br /> We give thanks to the Lord for his bountiful love<br /> And safe trip home to familiar bricks and mortar<br /> <br /> John Cornick<br /> Halifax, Nova Scotia<br /> April 15, 2016<br />   Submitted By: John Cornick
