Ilene Bauer Poet Rhyme

My Disney Day

My stress was through the roof before
This day at last arrived.
So many problems could crop up,
Plus I was sleep-deprived.

The heat, the crowds, the lines, the waits,
The grandkids, 2 and 4-ish,
As well as my devoted aunt,
Who's 89 or more-ish.

Yet it indeed was magical -
"A Small World" ride and others,
Amazing since this trip, I'd never
Choose if I'd my druthers.

The rip-off dinner worth each cent 
With characters there hugging,
The pictures proof with smiles so wide
My heart-strings got a tugging.

To share this day with those I hold
Most dear cross generations
Was worth much more than I foresaw 
Despite my trepidations.
