Anticipation

Count down now beginning
Term draws to a close
Days away for freedom
To foreign shores we chose.

Pray for summer sunshine
Safe journey across the sea
Croissants warm for breakfast
Out door cafe for our tea.

A change of pace for living
Clock banished from the mind
Exploring unknown corners
Wondering what we'll find.

Swimming before breakfast
Jacuzzi to unwind
Cold beer with our picnic lunch
On beach, umbrella lined.

Anticipation building
We know what to expect
Returning to this beauty spot
Time out, time to reflect.
