The Visit

Our kids came for a visit last Saturday week, Just seven days of sun and fun did they seek, Samantha I last saw 2 years ago, but John, it's been a long time since we met one on one. Our lives for the week were turned around, They pulled us out of the doldrums of life We went to places we'd never been, They discovered places we'd never seen. Places like Latchi and Polis, well known to us, Took on a new light when they came along. The Sea Caves, St George and Anavargos, Photo's galore were a memorable plus. Restaurants and cafe's, beaches and trips, Food to savor and wines to be sipped. Tavernas to visit and harbors to see, All part of this isle in an azure sea We spent time together, much laughter and mirth, But time is the master, brings you back to earth. So soon came the time, so fast passed the week, Today was the day of which we dared not speak. To the airport we went, so quiet and sedate, We kissed and hugged, then they went to the gate. Tried to think of ways to delay the goodbye, We smiled and we waved,then went outside to cry. © Dave Timperley 09 May 2015
