In France
Tonight’s sunset
Is particularly special
The first one I have
In this country
A country in my dreams
I’m now here
I know I am tired
I need to sleep
But I hold on
Trying to linger
In the excitement
Looking out the window
The shadows of the lampstand
The houses which are different from home
Is this really France
A romantic place
Where I’ve seen in movies
Read about it in novels
Have always wanted to visit
To experience its language
Its culture
Taste its food
Walk its street
After 27 hours on the plane
It’s all worth it
Coming to the home of
my daughter and son-in-law
meeting the two gorgeous grandchildren
Holding them, hugging them
Loving them
Miraculously, we don’t have jetlag
Sleeping well and wake up refreshed
Apart from catching a cold
This trip is so far, perfect!
