Ten Minutes to Los Angeles

Thinking about a special woman
and the happiness I feel
while in her arms.
I find myself smiling
even thou she's two thousand miles away.
Still she is close to my thoughts
and touching my heart especially today.
Sure am missing her presence
and the essence of her personality.
She brings joy into my life
and keeps me company.

Only a few hours have passed
since I left in the middle
of a warm Hawaiian day
and in just ten short minutes
my plane will be landing in L.A.
And I sure miss the palm trees
swaying in the breeze.
I miss those silky trade winds
that put my soul at ease.
I miss the tropical waves rolling in
and surfing and diving with my friends.
I miss taking a tan on beaches carpeted
in white sand.
And the special woman that exceeds all my misses?
Jackie of course and every one
of her sweet kisses.

this is so sweet.. and so full of love, but it also brought tears of longing to my eyes... *sigh*

quiet in the eyes of most
but deep,
swift and full of life
