River Bank Cottage...............
There are days within my life thus far,
I would gladly leave behind.
Though the day we saw this lovely place,
Will never leave my mind.
River Bank Cottage, is up for sale,
Was the sign we saw that day.
Then what I saw before my eyes,
Truly took my breath away.
Ivy covered window-sills,
Tulips by a stream.
Water that sparkled like cold champagne,
Befitting any dream.
Crocus in abundance,
The daff's bright endless glow.
An old dishevelled watermill,
Where the silent waters flow.
Hearing cuckoos in the distance,
Scents of spring-time on the breeze.
The untamed shadows from the sun,
Danced among the willow trees.
Heaven on earth we saw that day,
Happiness so true.
I knew this place before our eyes,
Was meant for me and you..........
I would gladly leave behind.
Though the day we saw this lovely place,
Will never leave my mind.

Thank you for your lovely words..
Reminiscing of by-gone days as a child in Wales
I had this vision that you had bought it and made it your own haven🙏🏻🕊
That was exactly what I was trying to produce..
As we all know..
The wonder of Poetry can transport you anywhere you want to be..
Yes! That did come across gloriously 🕊🙏🏻
