Off We Will Go

We’re taking a trip.
I’m nervous, but packed.
Anxiety worsens
With age; that’s a fact.

Yet off we will go;
We’ll give it a shot
And might have the time
Of our lives, or might not.

At least it’s a change
From our daily routine,
With a visit to places
That we’ve never seen.

We’ve worried and planned
But, like reading this poem,
In a flash, it will seem,
We’ll be flying back home.

Dear Ilene, I hope you have a wonderful trip. My wife and I, as part of my retirement, went on a 15 Day European River Cruise and had a grand old time. However, it eventually came to an end, and we went home. I miss that trip. Wonderful Read! Blessings, Dear Ilene, Daniel
