Barb from New Jersey wrote three poems and they go like this:

You Are So Beautiful 

I love to watch you from afar
You sparkle and you shine
For years I knew I'd have to share
Yet still, you felt like mine

 Each day I think of only you
So wishing I was there
My heart just leaps as time grows near
Your beauty sweet and rare

 So sad am I when we're apart
I weep and feel so down
You're more than just a place to me
You have a soul P-Town

Your heart beats softly, you're alive
So many feel like me
You carry peace within that heart
You're where I want to be

On My Return

Reincarnation makes such sense
Our spirit could return
So unaware we could come back
With lessons that we learn

 I'd like to be someone who laughs
Someone who's rarely down
If I come through this life again
Hope I'm in Provincetown

 A seagull on McMillan's Wharf
A Herring Cove full moon
The sea grass blowing in the wind
The sweet sand on the dune

The person in the candy store
I'd see the children smile
A painter looking at the dusk
Projecting my own style

 A street performer in the square
I'd sing for all to hear
If my next life's in Provincetown
Please let my time be near

Miss Ellie

Each person that we come across

Will touch us in some way

Some just pass through but Ellie, no

Inside your heart she'll stay

The harshest winters disappear

Excitement starts to grow

For soon it's time for Provincetown

Good riddance to the snow!

The drive seems long but worth the wait

To see the ocean's foam

No matter where we've been before

P-Town just feels like home

Of all the beauty, sights and scents

The peace this town will bring

Our favorite part is to relax

And hear sweet Ellie sing

She makes so many people smile

Each day new souls she'll touch

Miss Ellie, we all pray for you

We love you very much
