Safe place
Safe place
by Jessica Lett
I remember the days
The days of not having a care in the world
No problems no fears
Only open coast
My safe place
The breeze and the smell of salt water
Kids running and playing
The warm sand hugging my feet
And the cali sun on my back…
no worries
not even one…
BUT NOW!
There is so many!
and my safe place can’t be found
So I go to any place like it
A lake a river…
Any where I can be with just me and my thoughts
