That Final Day of the Holiday

There it is having so enjoyed it
full of sunshine there in the med
tomorrow is day to catch plane home
you wish to turn clock back instead

Each day there has been so super
you’ve loved each one equally so
wanting each moment to last eternally
perfect your time to go ever so slow

That final day of the holiday
so sad but reality must be set
get the pressies to take home
your mementoes  have to get

But the end must come to be sure
prepare yourself for that awful time
the sun waves goodbye so you wave back
take your seat as your bird takes it’s climb

Flight lands safely on home turf
it seems like yesterday I had left here
but hold the memories close to heart
then there won’t be so many a tear

(Some thoughts recently on leaving for home after holiday in Italy)
