The Distant Seas

I long to see the distant seas
And set foot on distant shores
And watch the sun caress the waves
With amber skies aglow
And watch the stars
Come out at night
Like fire flies in June
And string a blanket
Far and wide
And wrap around the moon

Hello Natalie. I just finished The Dating Game and it was really good. I should have a review up on my blog in the next week or so if you'd like to check it out. I can't wait to read the second book!
