Tuesday 6th November

.

An obscenely early alarm

For breakfast to sustain

Taxi to the coach station

Just over two hours to Spain

.

Row upon row of vines

Cork and olive trees too

Quite a scenic bus ride

With the sky a beautiful blue

.

Your brother and his girlfriend

Were waiting there to meet us

So good to see them again

Hugs and kisses, lots of fuss

.

You really would have liked

Travelling to new places

Different language, tasty food

Watching peoples’ faces

.

Although you can’t see

Everything we do

I’m sharing all of this

As if you’ve come along too

.

Blowing lots of kisses

My darling Angel son

Up in heaven above

You are forever young

.
