I Will Return
I Will Return <br /> <br /> I will return, my Love<br /> To that lovely coastline of ours<br /> That rockbound shore where we sealed our love<br /> Beneath the shadows of Cabot Tower<br /> <br /> The closeness of kin still lives with me now<br /> So important to survival no doubt<br /> Embracing arms and the strongest of ties<br /> Will endear them to me my life throughout<br /> <br /> Sitting on the pier together<br /> We dreamed dreams that linger still<br /> But you have gone to your rest now my Love<br /> In a cold grave on yonder hill<br /> <br /> So tomorrow I will in sadness set sail <br /> For climes so foreign and new<br /> To a land of promise and riches<br /> But I vow some day I will return to you<br /> <br /> Then I will step softly over your grave<br /> And whisper I love you as of oft<br /> I'll sit and in mind’s eye hold your hands<br /> And feel your lips tender and soft<br /> <br /> And visions of good times will fill my mind<br /> And flow over me as an ocean wave<br /> My head it will fill with water so salt<br /> And drip from my eyes to your grave<br /> <br /> Please arise again Love and come with me now <br /> To a place and a time we once knew<br /> Together forever bonded in love<br /> As the rest of our lives there we pursue<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> John Cornick<br /> Halifax, Nova Scotia<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Submitted By: John Cornick
