Nellie

Everyday I count the hours longing just to be with you,
Needing the comfort that you offer  -  the peace and quiet too.
The site of you it warms me, your welcome's ever strong,
You help to ease the tension, with you I know I do belong.
From the daily grind you call me, I always beckon to your call,
You quickly can transport me so far away then from it all.
I can sit there in the evenings with my family all around
And just wallow in the pleasures in you that we have found.
It doesn't really matter if I have to be there all alone,
I'm just so happy in your presence - there's nothing else I need to own.
Each time I have to leave you there is an ache inside my heart,
So I make a silent promise that we won't be too long far apart.
I know you will be waiting  -  it's like you miss me too it seems.
Oh! my beloved mobile home 'Nellie'  - you have helped fulfil my dreams.
 
(Especially for Maureen - long may she enjoy
the tranquillity of her beloved Mobile Home!)
