Somewhere I remember
My very distant home.
It has been there forever
It's beauty still it shows.
The water lapping to it,
Cold fresh and salty taste,
Contains fish of every species
That swim in shoals and race.
The gorgeous thing about it
is it's miles of tropic beach.
The sand as fine as sugar
Caress your tired feet.
Most islands are in silence
Where no cars or engines sound.
Only the song of a bird,
Or insect you have found.
The perfect flowers grow
Every colour, shape and size
Scatter the islands with love.
The Scilly Isles light up your eyes.
