Home in the sun


When I was young, I was full of life,
Now I am older, and always in strife.
I have decided, I want to live in Spain,
To get away from cold, wind and pain.
I want to feel the sun on my face,
Walk on the beach at a very slow pace.
Then stop for tapas and sangria, in my favourite bar,
Then walk home to my flat, which is not very far.
Then sit on my balcony, watching the setting of the sun,
Then I go to bed, my day is done.
