Mom and dad are on the phone,
sister and I feel alone.
Vacations live in our brains,
breaks keep parents feeling sane.
Picture magnets at arms reach,
past good times come back to teach.
Memories, out of the bag,
perfect plan, but we won’t brag.
Played around with silly thoughts,
hope our hint is somehow caught.
Looked my sister in the eye,
assured her a worthy try.
Mommy looked at us with pride,
instantly she took our side.
Her smile twinkled with sunshine,
excitement and hopes align.
Daddy came home with a grin.
happily he said “I’m in”,
let’s create some new stories,
adventure filled with glory.”
Packed suitcases, brought some snacks,
grabbed some games for my back pack,
prepared for amazing tales,
as our journey set full sail.

Very nice article. Real holidays are always remembered and the usual intention is to leave with bags and a walk. Fun and happiness are just in front of the eyes.
In the open sky and in innocent atmosphere, one should remain unconcerned. This mind is never known in the house. 😃😃🤩🤩🥳🥳🥳
