Overseas Study

That February Sunday
Our airport detour,
Clara's gone away
On a study tour.


A pre-flight dinner
With our family,
Vouch for a winner
A message lovely.


And just so quickly
You both through check-in,
Hearts can feel empty
Feelings come between.


Just the two of you:
Michael and Clara,
Melbourne to cue
With fond agendas.


Dreams come true you see
When the moment syncs,
Overseas study
When good fortune links.


Two years of reading
To gain a stature;
This course of learning
Aligns a treasure.


May your feisty ways
Bring evermore joy;
May the fond light rays
Bless work you enjoy.


February Thursday
We wait at the gate,
Michael styles this way
Home comfort awaits.


Love holds a true feast
In our loving hearts,
Zesty thoughts and peace
Begin to craft art.


Home is where heart sings
In sure belonging,
Here happiness springs
Brilliant welcoming.
