I was not able to sleep,
And was up before the alarm gave a beep.

It is hard to believe,
But the day has come that we must leave.

After the Ukraine, Russia and the Netherlands,
I am ready to wave farewell with my hands .

It has been nice to see the family thrive,
And observe they have a good life.

About the future here I am not so sure,
Unless the Government comes up with a cure.

To much money is drained from the coffers by the greedy,
Leaving no money to care for the needy.

It is becoming more evident,
The Government is spending their last cent.

It worries the wise,
While the takers come up with more lies.

There are many disputes,
And in most family they have multiple feuds.

It appears to be fashion,
To continue disputes with passion.

I am glad to return home,
And again be alone.

To clear my head,
Of what everyone said.

Breakfast did not appeal,
I first want my indigestion to heal,

It is the result of the dinner last night.
As dessert did not settle right

Anneke had wrapped very neat,
Buns with cheese to eat.

The freeway to Frankfort was clear,
And Nico drove safe and without fear..

At a speed we are not used to in the USA…
but he was able to keep all the way.

After check in, a long wait and long flight,
I will be glad to have Long Beach again in sight.
