Today I will arrive home,
And this for now is my last travel poem.

On the cruise I have had a lot of time,
To rhyme.

Even though I write a poem in a wink,
I do need time to think…

About the subject matter,
Before I start to chatter.

Cruising provides serenity,
And always inspires me.

Again I have found peace
And again I feel at ease

I feel I am in good physical condition,
And my breast cancer, it seems, is in remission.

I look forward to the next trip
On a river cruise on a much smaller ship.

Cruising down the Volga,
In Russia.

Soon I will be back at L.A. Airport and I will be happy to see…..
Daphne, in the distant……who will be looking for me. !
