Mystic Rose Rose Poet Rhyme

My Favorite Vacation

My favorite vacation would have been my very last summer vacation 
travelling to Florida with my daughter and husband was an inspiration

Who knew, not long after we would be hit with a world wide pandemic 
the sun back then  was a splash of rich golden yellow, so totally Semic 

Early morning visits sleepy eyed like white tail deer we entered a shop 
hot bagels of every kind steamy coffees, summer dresses, flip flops 

Sun tan lotion by day, Italian ravioli by night, it was indeed a sweet holiday 
stretched out on the beach with sand between our toes we enjoyed the rays  

It had been ten years since our last real  holiday last time I had gone on a plane 
today I look at the photos and smile, who knew things would soon go so insane 

Maybe tomorrow it will be over and I can return to Florida with my small family 
this time my son might come along too then we can bathe there, peacefully...

Victor Buhagiar January 26, 2022 at 8:25 AM Ravioli. pasta, pizzas - they are all favorites in Malta. I can't eat them much because of blood glucose. My farotite vacation was when I took Lillian to Holland. She was not very enthusiastic. but when we arrived she was elated. Mystic Rose Rose January 26, 2022 at 11:31 AM Yes I love Italian food, in fact I love any kind of food, home made, glad she enjoyed Holland, my friend is from Holland and she says the flowers are stunning, thankyou for sharing, :)

Valsa George January 26, 2022 at 4:06 AM Definitely it must have been a wonderful vacation in recent times as we are all stuck home with the pandemic . Around that time I too had gone on a vacation to Florida.... It was not merely a vacation, it was to attend my sister's marriage ! Beautifully written ! Mystic Rose Rose January 26, 2022 at 4:15 AM Yes it was Valsa, like they say, when you look back it becomes all the more dearer, as you with your grandparents, we realize what we had, and we cherish it most dearly, Have a wonderful day dear
