Every Mile A Memory

A one month trip to a foreign country;

My biggest wish being fulfilled I could see;

I got off the plane;

Ready to hop on the train.

That would take me to the hotel;

At the reception, I quickly rang the bell;

I sat there waiting with my family behind;

The receptionist came running inside.

Our suite was so big and luxurious;

I went to all the rooms, so very curious;

Italy, Switzerland, Vatican and Paris;

That’s not all, there is also Venice;

These were the places we were going to visit;

My trip was sure to be exquisite.

Italy was a lot of fun;

At Paris, we saw the Eiffel tower under the sun;

The cakes and croissants were so awesome;

Some were cherry, some were plum.

At Rome, the Colosseum looked so old;

The fighters who fought there would have been so bold;

We saw at least a dozen grooms and brides;

Getting photos clicked by guides.

At Switzerland, the strawberries so wonderful;

I could not ever believe;

The mountains looked so beautiful;

I wished not to leave.

Venice is the most memorable;

We had missed the last train we could get;

We were not even able to find a table;

Then outside the station, a guy we met;

Some towels he gave us.

To cover ourselves before we catch the bus;

We reached home the next night;

We were so tired;

We hopped into bed without even turning on the light;

A comfy bed and some sleep was what we desired.
