Enter Poem or Quote (Required)Required In Nineteen ninety-six, our son and wife, Majors In US Army, moved to Izmir, their new base. As usual, whatever place they were assigned, We flew to visit them as well as dear grandkids. So off we went to spend two weeks in Turkey, this Outstanding country we had never been before. So much to see at Ephesus—Metropolis Of Antique Age; The Stadium, the Harbor Bath, Basilica, the Marble Road, Heracles Gate— All ruins now. Were sad to see these wondrous works Of art and architecture now in disarray And strewn about on fields on which they proudly stood. Of varied striking sites in Pergamon, we saw The City Walls, the Aqueducts, Acropolis, The Temple Dionysus, that of Trajan too. So many ages, periods had ruled this place, Artistic wonders, structures turned to ruins—works Of Persian, Greek, Roman and more, in pieces lay. Besides the many ancient ruins visited, We were amazed that many locals spoke our tongue. They did their best to make us feel so much at ease, Were gracious in combined Mid-Eastern/Euro style Of hospitality and types of food they ate And served, like cheese, tomatoes, olives of all kinds. Izmir, a city mixed with culture old and new, Like modern shops and open markets, outdoor stands With fish and meats on ice, yet weighed on modern scales. And women with fine bread on plates held up on heads, Who walked the streets in morning, dressed in peasant garb; Yet working business women wore more modern dress. We ventured to the famous city, Istanbul, Surprised to see the many high-rise buildings there, And streets so overcrowded with their vehicles; Large offices and business centers everywhere— Ladies with fashion boots, purses and western dress; Big contrast with those living back in country hills. Such history surrounds this ancient, distant land; So many varied cultures ruled their sacred world. Museums filled with artifacts from centuries, Safeguarded and in view to honor and behold. This trip shall always hold such special, vivid thoughts For us to cherish and remember for all time. Of course, this one-time trip was many years ago; We're happy we had ventured then instead of now, For times have changed; such unrest grows within our world. Sandra M.
