"Content in Provincetown"

Race Point Lighthouse - Provincetown

"Content in Provincetown"

 

It won't be long will soon be there

This place we love so much

In Provincetown you more than see

You breathe, you taste, you touch.

 

We live each day to reach our goal

To be there once again

For nothing brings us inner peace

The way that P-Town can.

 

The time it seems to go so slow

We gaze on line each day

Then suddenly we're almost there

Sweet P-Town by the bay.

 

Each year we run into old friends

Each year new friends we meet

It is our home there is no doubt

Our calmness our retreat.

 

The countdown starts the day we leave

It's where we strive to be

This place that lingers in our minds

Contentment by the sea.

"Lesson learned in Provincetown"

Lesson Learned in Provincetown

There's snow tonight in Provincetown

The benches so empty.

Commercial Street without a soul

So peaceful by the sea.

The winter's cold the people scarce

Some gone to warmer shores

The opposite of summer days

Few restaurants, few stores

Remembering when I was young

I'd come with family

As soon as we were old enough

My sister, friends and me.

This town would always speak to us

So softly we would hear

"In Provincetown we welcome all

There is no need to fear"

I've always felt so out of place

When here, can just be me

This town has taught me kindness, love

This jewel by the sea.
