MORNING ON THE PACIFIC
Štovani Prijatelji ,
Prije tjedan dana je završila 9’th Annual Poetry Convention u Orlandu -Florida.

Techniques for Giving Voice to Your Poetry ” kod Poznatog glumca i direktora Mr. Al D’ Andrea .
Ovim putem se želim zahvaliti svim prijateljima koji su mi pružili moralnu podršku i svojoj djeci Emiliju,Ivani,Anthonyu i Deeni, te suprugu Mili koji su mi dali materijalnu i moralnu podršku i omogucili mi odlazak u Orlando.
Neka i Vama Dragi Prijatelji ova moja pjesma bude hrana za dušu kao i mojim najdražima i meni osobno.

MORNING ON THE PACIFIC
Good morning I told the sun
The sun that touched me with its warm golden rays
And then I said:”Good morning my beautiful ocean”
My ocean that touched me softly
I wrote on the sand – Your name
The waves came and washed them away
My eyes wandered away to the far away sea
Where ocean meets the sky
Until I was lost in its depths
My heart began to tremble
I gasped for air
Then closed my eyes
And surrendered to you
I let you navigate me ,
I let you take me
You – blue pearl of my heart
A place of my happiness
Now, I know, I am sure
I carve your name in my soul
It will stay there all of my life -forever
as long as you exist,
Croatia -my love
Tomorrow I will come again
And tell you the same;
“Good morning my beautiful ocean”
Then I will wait and wait for you to return to me
And embrace me again
Softly with your waves………
