Notes About The Poem

 

Royal Caribbean - Allure of the Seas

My Indulgence

Indulgence- how one strives to treat oneself
relies on circumstances that life brings.
For some, indulgence far exceeds the norm;
for others, it may feast on simple things.

I think of this and what indulgence means
to me, and I am baffled since I lead
a life with normal joys and can't reflect-
what more would satisfy a want or need?

One day, it came to mind- a far-fetched dream;
a trip- an ocean cruise on the Allure,
Royal Caribbean’s colossal ship-
to sail with all my family, for sure!

Our children, grandkids, siblings- spouses too,
all those I'd love to share with and enthrall,
with that great ship’s superb amenities
and stops at warm and sunny ports of call.

To live relaxed with loved ones for one week
aboard a piece of heaven out at sea;
this would fulfill my grand indulgence dream-
to share this luxury with family.
