Down Under

Rozina

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.

    • Rozina

      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!

      • Rozina

        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

        • Rozina

          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

          • Rozina

            Thank you.
