Poem
The summer of 2000 stuck in my mind for eternity A sight that I'll always love to see. There was a lot of bad very little good and I remember the bad way more than I should While bad things did happen without a doubt That's not what this is all about Eight days of vacation had NEVER been done Was there any such thing as that much fun? Fun in the mist of Chaos at home? Did we dare pack up the car and roam? The vacation was planned and the hotel paid for so we finally decided to head out the door. An eight hour drive with a stop in between South of the Boarder which we had all never seen. It was finally in sight through the bright sun light Myrtle Beach here we are I had wished on a star that we could all go far, far away from where the bad things are. Were we far from where the bad things are or did they all get packed in the car? The next eight days went really GREAT Staying home would have been such a mistake A hotel room with a microwave, fridge and a sink, plenty of room for cold things to drink Out the door and down the steps there was the beach that was truly the best The sound of the waves and sand between our toes, no better feeling would we ever know. Lots of crab legs and steamed spiced shrimp Our plates piled high we could not skimp Early morning runs on the beach in the sun really were lots of fun Late night walks in the sand bought us closer than we ever did plan An amusement park with lost of rides Putt putt golf and water slides Go cart tracks so many to choose Who would win and Who would loose Lots of cars so many to pick from it didn't matter, we all could get some. As the days went by we had lots of fun from the morning sun until the day was done Eight days of fun, peace and quite Months of saving so we could buy it. When it was all said and done, we had proved that we could all have fun, Fun in the mist of chaos at home? YES, way more fun than we had ever known. No matter how bad things really are I'll always remember that summer by far Eight days of good things that will forever be, the days that went down in history.
