Farewell To The Highlands
Farewell To The Highlands
Farewell to the Highlands that are so far away ,
Farewell to the North that has taken my heart away,
The birth-place of California is were I want to stay ,
Wherever I wander were my lover has been,
That gave me a world-wind,
The hills of the Highlands for ever I love.
This is were I want to put my trust ,
You ask me to take your hand in love and I said I need to trust ,
That was almost the end of us .
My heart's in the Highlands, my heart is not hear to stay
You ask me what I want out of our love
I said I need more of us with so much love
To build in this highland a place we can call home ,
You want me to go to a place I don't know .
I am from Cali and you are from Rome .
Farewell to the mountains high covered with snow;
With no hope of going back home .
Farewell to the street lights that had shine so bright
That keeps me up through out the nights,
Green valleys is were I will give my life ,
To a man that ask me to be his wife ,
I bring with me my heart of faith for this love to stay
That is true and kind as mine .

To all my readers you may see that their are grammar errors in my old writings, but these writing are from the 90's ,2000's. I truly didn't think anyone was readying my work . so I just started writing out what I felt and made my pains a story and poems . I had re post these poems and stories all over the internet and I keep them also in file so no one can ever say my work is theirs . I have kept my work as they are just for others to see where it was I started my writing at . The pains are so real not even a game ,The life I had lived I would never wish upon no one . I like to say to all who are taking the steps for change in their life congratulations to the new open doors God bless you . You may have seen my photos on the internet and my writings on Poetry.com and poem hunter etc. you may have seen the hate that others have given to me about my work and my beauty of who I am . But as you can see I will never let the haters Stop me from doing what I love . So I say the same to all of you write your own words and let your heart speak to all your readers . I hope you can understand why I haven't made changes in my work at less not the old ones . My old work are left as they are for me to always remember where it all came from . God bless to all who reads . Lilly Emery /Judy Emery
