A long day, but great fun

Soaked on the water ride

Family altogether

Such a joyful lad

Dawn of the new millennium

Twenty years ago today

We drove to Cocoa Beach

Awaiting the rising sun’s ray

Today we repeated that trip

But certainly not so early

The sun had spread its warmth

As we completed the journey

Thinking of when you were with us

Love you poppet

Rain, rain, rain

All through the night

Let’s hit the shops

‘Cos there’s no sunlight

Bargains at the outlets

Choices of food

To satisfy all

You were here

You’re always near

Stopping for a drink

Watching darkening clouds
