Seven days to go till we get on the plane
Maybe I need to take a moment to explain
March has become a tradition of sorts
When us girls get together for our trip to New York
We all gather in Brooklyn at my niece’s apartment
It’s cozy . . . but filled with love and contentment
There’s laughter and hugs, and oh so much love in the air
Not a quiet moment between us because we have so much to share!
We all stake our spot for our carry on cases
And hope that it’s not one of Kiki’s (her kitty) favorite spaces
Then it’s time to kick back with a nice glass of wine
Our Lyndsey makes us feel so welcome . . . so, so fine.
She knows how to spoil us, she knows how to host
My sister and I smile as she makes the first toast.
I cherish the time when together we spend
And start thinking early . . . I don’t want this to end
I miss her so much, although we talk often and text
And I’m always planning, yes planning until the next
Funny . . . well not really, how my slice started about my trip
And then as usual my thoughts detoured and took a flip
Cause although I love the city, the energy, Times Square’s marquee
My real love in New York . . . is my oh so beautiful niece . . . Lyndsey!
Can’t wait to see you Honey!!! . . .143 ;-))
I can tell that you're already packed. What a fun tradition. Your niece is lucky to have such a wonderful aunt. I'm packing too - I'm heading north for a week of fun with Michelle & M & P - I can't wait either. Have fun and hopefully your week will go quickly and smoothly!
ReplyDeleteI am so very, very lucky! The luckiest, in fact :)
DeleteHow talented you are to create this poem! It sounds like an amazing time and you are so lucky to have lodgings in New York. I want to visit the city, but I know it will be costly.
ReplyDeleteHow exciting that you get to spend this time with the girls! I love that know it's more than the trip to NYC -- it's about the people, your niece and the time and stories you share. That is just awesome! Can't wait to hear about the trip!

ReplyDeleteHooray for wonderful trips spent with all the people you love! We will help you count the days - and make next week go faster.
ReplyDeletePoetry just flows from your fingers naturally, doesn't it?
ReplyDeleteApartment and contentment...what a great rhyme--I would have never tried to end a rhyming line with apartment. 7 days---sounds like so much fun!
