DEVON BELLE

Steam train chuffing down the Torquay line
Seagulls soaring round the red cliffs high
Sun just glistening on the sea so blue
Distant memories of the times we knew

Dawlish passes see the boats at sea
People waving at the Devon Belle
Once on the sands, there was you and me
From memories depths the stories to tell

Teignmouth basking with her sand so red
High tide in the estuary, and the couple just wed
Children playing with their buckets and spades
Princesses living in the castles they made

Turning up the river, my favorite view
Shaldon cottages in pink and blue
Sunshine yellow I hear you say
Take me there, on a train one day

Lovely word pictures flowing in such great sequence of rythum and rhyme.
Images make up a memorable trip.
