I live on an island in the middle of the sea an island the natives have shared with me I love this place so small and grand I will miss this place when i head for the mainland i will have a quiet goodbye with it down on the beach tonight alone i'll walk in peace to know it will always live in my heart I will thank it for the memories that it has created for me I will wish it blessings for the future that it will remain untamed three years cane and went so fast my time spent here will end at last still this island it's wonderful people the tides that rush to shore the boonie stomps the fiends i've made will be with me ever more... Thank you Guam you have truely become my friend no deception have you played now I must go home...... |

JulieAnn, this is beautiful. What a way to remember your three-year home! Elizabeth I'm grabbing my hat and coat I'm leaving the cat a note Quick call me a ferry boat-getting out of town! |

JulieAnn~ My Dad was in the Navy and he and my Mom and my older brother were there for some time. We have lots of pictures of it. When I was in Okinawa I got the chance to spend a night in Guam. It is beautiful. This poem is sweet and I know why you'll miss it so.  -SEA |

This is a beautiful description of Guam. I can tell how much this place means to you. Don't be so sad to leave, you will always have the memories. "We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars." -Oscar Wilde |

Julie I was there two different occasions for a total of 6 weeks and I loved the beaches and the snorkeling and scuba diving. Nice descriptive writing. James |
