Janice Canerdy Poet Acrostic

World Cruises

We labored hard for decades to provide
		Our kids good lives. We never hoped to be
		Rich and prestigious. We were satisfied.
		Life was fulfilling; closeness was the key.
		Delights like cruises, we could not afford.
		Church outings and short trips with family
		Renewed our spirits; we weren’t often bored.
		Unknown to our grown kids, we frequently
		Imagined seeing distant shores--a cruise
		So grand! Then they brought tickets and good news.
		Each of us now would see the world’s grand views--
                So many lovely places, ours to choose!
