Memorable Vacations

Memorable Vacations





Queensland was a dream come true,
Along forest lake walks under the blue,

Summers of December 2010 on my sis' invite,
Excited we were for the double delight,

Long travel concluded into a toast,
Beaches and sea, Byron bay and Gold Coast,

Gold of sand slipped under our feet,
Glittered in sun the irresistible greet,

Waves that thrashed on us with every tide,
Engulfed us after a roller coaster ride,

Kangaroos that into every street hopped,
To give them way every now and then we stopped,

People were humble and kind,
Serpentine roads turning blind,

Sunny day we visited famous sea world,
Dolphins with music in unison twirled,

Kids together on giant wheel screamed,
Watched favourite movies and gleamed,

Train travel and beauty of countryside, 
River Brisbane traversed with ferry ride,

Sydney opera house, bridge and harbour,
New year eve with fireworks and great fervor,

Days of goodbye when approached near,
Subtle emotions flowed and rolled the tears,

As we close our eyes and reminisce,
Days spent together were such a bliss !
