When you get to California…………………it’s peace I hope you’ll find
Introspection will lead you to…………….a calmer state of mind
When you get to California…………don’t loose yourself in the race
Seize time for yourself…………….demand a slower pace

When you get to California………….not all is made of gold
True wealth is found within…………………………the heart you gently hold
When you get to California…………..touch a giant Redwood tree
Feel the strength that grows…………………it’s what we all can be

When you get to California…………smile in the sun shining bright
Marvel at the melding colors……………..as day welcomes night
When you get to California……………….catch my spirit at the sea
Take a moment ………………….and remember me

enjoyed this, but am wondering where the person may be from that they might expect to find a slower pace in California...uh maybe northern, yes, northern CA nearer Oregon.

The sentiments expressed here are wonderfully said and I'm sure you'll be remembered at the sea, Sea, and all parts between.

all I can say is that California isn't Michigan. . .  

but, if I ever get there. . . I'll remember this. . .

wonderful SEA. . .

Excelent poem SEA,

True wealth is found within.....
The heart you gently hold

When you get to California.....
Touch a giant redwood tree.....
Feel the strangth that grows.....      

It's what we all can be
These lines glow with your personality

Do not fear going forward slowly,
Fear only standing still.

When I get to California...I will be at peace
too many days and nights away..may they soon cease.

Touched my heart on this one. I am so homesick for San Diego, it just chokes me sometimes. You have touched on so many nice things about California. Loved it.
