Missive from Mom (a la Dr. Seuss)

What would you think

And what would you do

If your child wanders far

To ride bikes in Peru

Would you follow her there

On a sneezlebox flight?

With her brother in tow

I don’t know… you just might

And what would you see

In that far away land

Where the clouds meet the mountains

And lost cities still stand?

(Machu Picchu Movie!)

Would you wander about

With your jaw on the ground

Or perhaps make new friends

Who with colors abound

After hugging your sweeties

Justin, Missy and Mike

Then finding a place

Where you all can sleep tight

You awake for your birthday

A most special of days

And find flowers delivered

By dear Rena from LA!

And there’s more, you will see

As you plan how to play

When your hostel hosts give you

A singing start to your day!

(Birthday Movie!)

Ah, but then the sounds

Ring loud from the plaza

A parade is in progress

Dancing girls all a snazza

And next we adventure

To a chocolate museum

To be students of cocoa

And make chocolates (and then eat them!)

After a day of fun

With the laughter and food

Justin and Melissa share stories

Where strangers aren’t rude

We hear of their travels

Down the continent they plan

With their wits and their strength

They must know I’m a fan!

Our visit was brief

We learned much from our date

I was sad when we left them

But the memories are great!

(Farewell Movie!)
