Just got back from way Down Under
Went to see my much missed daughter
Not seen her over 2 long years
Hugged her tight, shed happy tears
Spent our weeks catching up with life
Time had passed with so much strife
Also went on an eating spree!
Drank many cups of their great coffee
She\'d moved house since I last saw her
Place with a garden, oh so dear!
Heard the birds call early morning
Got up quick to go exploring
Not much shopping this time round
Covid lessons still abound
No more need for clothes or shoes
Knew the score, the don\'ts and dos
Being together was such a treat
But life is always bittersweet
Tinged with sadness for northern shores
Families broken by dreadful wars
Held her close when saying goodbye
When will life be normal? Sigh....
Will be back but who knows when
Keep in touch please, now till then.

Hello, I just got back from a wonderful holiday. Been cleaning up the house and garden and now I need another holiday!
Will try and catch up with some of the lovely poems I would have missed.
