It's Time For a Vacation-W

It doesn't matter where we go as long as we're together. Surrounded by kids and grandkids Laptop replaced by the kids. Going to the land of the Maple trees To refresh and revive the earlier visits Of Niagara, the Antiope of Canada To see the migrating birds in Pelee island Humming with cicadas in the summer. To have the birds’ eye view from CN Tower The 2nd highest observation deck in the world A treat to see the mist across Lake Ontario From the renowned Niagara Falls. Watching men navigate their way Across the glass floor and on nice days When the roof is open on the Rogers center Watching League Ball game hundreds of meters below. And never to be missed Toronto’s Royal Ontario Museum A major point of architectural interest in the city, One of the largest museums in North America. And how one can miss The Eaton center The massive Mall, a home to over 200 stores As the evening draws by, a-must for a visitor The Distillery District, center for the city’s theatre The area boasting many performance venues And the official home of many theatre companies. One can wander freely through pedestrian-only streets Exploring the art studios and gallery spaces Till the late hours of the night, before going to sleep. Travelling for me is not just seeing the new But the places you can see anytime shutting your eyes. Dr. Ram Mehta ==================================== 7th place win Contest: It’s Time For a Vacation sponsored by Carol Brown
