A summer morning in Rome


( To Mario)


As the bus turns up the hill the shapes of Rome appear and my heart beats faster.

Here I am again after all these years, back to where I was happy as a child

Oh my loved city, ancient walls surround you , protecting you from harm

and your cobblestones shine under the night rain..

I smell your scents still alive in my brain and I smile remembering...

the pasta, the music , the wine and those green eyes I will never forget..
