My Carolina Home

I love a southern thunderstorm, a low country shower
a light rain or display of immense power
the thunder rolls like the crashing waves
lightning flashes like a firefly behaves

on a deep cloudless night the stars shine above
on warm summer night I simply fall in love
but a cool breeze blows and brings a chill
that follows along a haunting refrain- a lovely thrill

Nothing changes this heart of mine,
a deep appreciation for the Mason-Dixon line
But if ever I shall cross that threshold
which takes me where life is bigger and bold

I will love my life in adventure sweet
but desire and longing may cause me to repeat
as far as I may across this world roam
One day I will return for my Carolina home
