To Zoe

Our life, we made an island,
Insulated from outside influence,
Days could pass the way we planned,
Relaxation in every sense
Our life we made an island.

Our life, we made an island;
When times were dark with rains,
Or seas did pound our sands,
We could hide, avoid the pains.
Our life, we made an island.

Our life we made an island,
A flower, so rare appeared on the scene,
Delivered by the surf and left on our sands,
Its perfume so fragrant, lines so clean.
Our life, we made an island.

We must climb from this island tree,
Accept life in full, from shackless flee,
Search for the- key alter the plan;
Hold out your hand, help me climb free,
To escape from this life, to our island,
