Happy St. Maarten's Day

Happy St. Maarten's Day

_____________________________

I want to be where the sun is always shining, and the tropical breezes flow so freely.

I want to be where the clear blue water washes over the shiny shores in placid splendour.

I want to be where the mountains stand majestic and reign supreme o'er the lands.

I want to be where the seagulls sing their songs of pleasure soaring over the fisherman's catch of the day.

I want to be where family surrounds you, and the sounds of their laughter embraces you like a warm blanket on a cold day.

I want to be where my soul is at peace, at home in my place under the blue canopy of the caribbean sky.

I want to be there, onthat isle, so small, yet so grand in all its simple sophistications.

I want to be in that place called St. Maarten, my home by the sea.
