We do take stocks of a natural treasure
And the man made jewels every year
Experiencing the awesome majestic beauty
That nature paints with wind, water and ice
Over 12000 years on the Niagara landscape.

I along with all the members of my family
Opt for the picnic during the spring back
On reaching, the first, very first craving of kids
Hey, let’s go to the Butterfly Conservatory
Teaching us to learn how to get happiness
Chase not a butterfly, stand still, will land on you
As in life not to run after the happiness
Let the happiness come to you like a butterfly.

Time for the lunch break and to buy biscuits
For the seagulls and the squirrels a plenty.
Holding a biscuits in our hands for seagulls
Hovering over the people everywhere and
Bold enough to enjoy their lunch from our hands.

Now it’s the time for The Maid of Mist boat tour
Watching eternity, flowing away forever and ever
Yesterday becoming today, today tomorrow
Never resting beautiful dream, a stark reality 
A bliss to be there down for to see the beauty.

Now for the tea and breakfast at the Mist Plaza
Resting in the open, kids waiting for the squirrels
Here they come whirly, twirly, round and round
Down scampers to the ground, furly and curly
Where is their supper, in the shell? No, No
It’s biscuits in the hands of my grandkids 
Holding the hand high to lure the squirrel
To climb on his body to grab its supper
Fun for the kids and a treat to all to watch.

Our spirits grieve to say a farewell to thee with
But with a promise as usual to return next year.

Awesome, Dr. Ram! You took me back to my own trips to Niagara. That Maid of the Mist ride was spectacular, but I don't think the butterfly conservatory had been built then. These trips were long ago. Seeing the falls is something everyone should do at least once and it's great that your family picnics there often. I'll look for the photos in your blog. Love, Carolyn
