Island Of Memories

by Percy Albertross - Taurus

Island of memories

Oh to sail upon the boat,
Across the Irish Sea.
To visit the mystical Isle of Man,
That means so much to me.
The beaches as a child,
The steam train with my wife,
The wonderful views to the Calf of Man,
As I sit and ponder life.

To stand in awe on Snaefell top
To climb the Laxey Wheel
To visit the beach at the point of Ayre
And view the castle at Peel
The Island is a sanctuary
Away from life’s cruel world
Where everyone has got the time
To sort out problems that unfurl

The people are amazing.
No one’s in a rush.
Everyone’s got time to talk,
Even drivers on the bus.
The pace of life is just for me.
That’s really where it’s at.
If ever I won the lottery,
That’s where I’d lay my hat.
