Stirring the coffee
Stirring the coffee, Brian and I
Clinking the spoon against the Bodum
Spreading the jam on hot buttered toast
Overlooking the pool in apartment Four A*
Beyond the poolside lie white painted domes
And beyond that the sea both azure and calm
Beneath the blue sky lies an island of charm
La Gomera bonita our magical neighbor.
No haste over breakfast
The day’s heating up
With things to discuss
From Quakers to neighbors.
Did we really appreciate
How lucky we were?
If we could only go back
We’d value it more.
No point in complaining
Or feeling so sad
Better make plans
Before we go mad!
*4A Adeje Paradise, Playa Paraiso, South Western Tenerife. Our second home 2004-2020
