A ZONIAN
Zonian is a person who lived a bit of life in a land
that is filled with rainforests, mountains, and a whole lot of sand.
Some of us were born and lived there, yes;
Some spent a life there encompassing much less.
It's in the heart where we give birth
to that wonderful feeling that's best on earth.
A Zonian I became right from the start.
It's just something I know deep in my heart.
Nothing else could I be
It's easy to see.
It's that life in the past
I so wish would last.
I live in the now, oh yes, it is true.
But my thoughts stray to the land that was the home that I knew.
The home that was once my reality
is now just a dream of finality.
The Panama Canal Zone may disappear,
But in my heart it will live always near.
