Corpus Christi by the Bay

Corpus Christi by the Bay

Take a walk down  by the shore
on a beautiful sunny day
see all the smiling faces
watch the children run and play

See all the sail boats
commin and goin
dont know where they been
but
I know
they will be commin back again

Commin back to Corpus
Corpus Christi by the bay

sittin on an old park bench
watch a couple
hold each others hands
as they stroll on by

Take a breath of the mornin air
watch a kite up in the sky

listen to the waves
as the sun rise
finds it way through the mist and the fog

enjoy a sunset on the beach
or watch a bon fire sittin on a driftwood  log

Oh Corpus Christ
City by the bay

Oh Corpus Christi
I hope you will always
remain this way


This is where I married
the one I love
This is where
I call home

no matter how long
I stay away
no matter
where I have gone

Everyone here is like family
a kind of people
you would like to know

they treat you good
every where you go

Corpus Christi
oh my Corpus Christi
city by the bay

Corpus Christi
oh my Corpus Christi
I hope it will always
remain this way

There will always be a place
in my heart

for
Corpus Christi
by
the bay

This reminded me of either a heavenly cliche, or just a great place; You got slightly repetitive at the end, but the imagery was very real! Overall I liked it!!!

When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.

John F. Kennedy (1917-1963) Thirty-fifth President of the USA
