Serenity

by June Sargent

Serenity is what I seek
Anxiety has reached its peak
An island paradise I need,
where relaxation is decreed
and comfort reigns, without the chic

Where manners remain mild and meek
and kindness coats each word they speak
To live in peace they've all agreed
Serenity...

Each island has its own mystique,
with customs that are so unique
Let's catch the wind - increase our speed
If stars align we will succeed.
No longer will the days look bleak
Serenity...
