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.

The stuff you've missed since you've been down under. Thunder, lightening, snow, rain. Someone did report a sun alert, but it turned out to be a boring UFO. Why are your maids not cleaning your house for your return.
Hahaha! Sounds like I missed the whole of Nature. The maids ran off with the chauffeur and gardener, the chefs took off with their tools, the butler (did I have one?) had a heart attack, so I'm doing it all, again.
Oh Rozina, thank you for sharing your experience here. I understand how this feels! I just got back from Down Under (Adelaide) months ago. A short trip but I hadn't seen my family for 2 years!
Yes it's so good to catch up with family after all this time. I'm sure you enjoyed being with them even for a short time. Adelaide is a lovely place.
a BIG welcome back from me Roz and what a FAB series of recollections you have incorporated into your notification of return ... N
Thank you Neville. It's nice to be back. Hopefully can travel again soon. I've got the travel bug now.
A wonderful poem of reunion with family. Something that most of us can identify with. Well done
Thank you.
