What a vacation!
Wonderful experiences
Renewing old ties
Celebrating milestones
Replenishing memory stocks.

Away from the stress
And schedules so demanding
A time to be me
To stretch my wings and take flight
Obscuring the work place blues.

A time to refresh
To visit and learn new things
And if I am blest
To spend some quality time
With my ties past and present.

But oh how fleeting
These times we have to do such
Enjoy while you can
This is the stuff Life is made of--
At least, the most cherished part.

David; I'm so glad you had a wonderful time.
Why can't work be two weeks long and the vacation last the rest of the year? Terrific poetry here. Sis C):^)

Sounds like a great vacation.  Thus we take the time to enjoy and take a break from all the toil.

Wonderful poem, David! I'm glad you had a great time! Did you give Dennis a hand with the pool work?

Time seems to crawl while you're counting
the days until vacation, then how fast the time flys when you're having a great time!
It sounds like you had a wonderful vacation!
