Florida of my dreams

Memories of white sandy beaches 
And a little girl with her arms full of seashells- 

Images of a mother who loved me oh so very much 
Looking with such joy upon me 
As I showed her each of my treasures from the day
A heart full of wisdom, freely shared 
And a mind as keen as an red-tail hawk’s sight 

Encouragement for everyone that was in need 
Urging me to be accepting of others 

Long flowing black hair curled about her face 
And a smile that warmed even the darkest places
Longing to stay with her for ever and a day

Longing to know why they took us back that day 
This is the deepest hurt I have 
Knowing of the love there was to have 
And then being denied it completely
