The night before I prepare and pack
Our car, full of towels and toys and sunscreen.
Daybreak departure, though sleep we may lack,
Adventure awaits, escape from routine.
-
On to Tobermory, Canada's jewel,
Of hidden crystal cool waters bright.
My youngest alights on rocks by the pool
Splashing, his sisters dive deep without fright.
-
A day in the sun, picnic in the shade,
The trek worthwhile to bask in nature true.
Moments shared sipping sparkling lemonade,
Lamenting hours in the day seem too few.
-
The trip comes to an end, memories set
Of family and joy, summer's vignette.
