HAPPY WORLD TOURISM DAY

 


           WORLD TOURISM DAY


MY  TRIP AROUND THE WORLD

The magnets on my fridge’s door tell many stories.

My travels of many years are filled with sweet memories.

I have been to several countries in parts of the world.

Many poems and stories about them I have written and told.

*

I have visited New York, London, Germany, Holland, and Toronto,

Anaheim, Catalina, Colorado, New Orleans, Buffalo,

Los Angeles, Hollywood, Vegas, New York, and Paris,

Barcelona, Madrid, Rome, Florence, and Venice.

*

Curacao, Florida, Margarita, Virginia, St. Lucia, and Anguilla,

Orlando, Tampa, Naples, Key West, and Hialeah,

Puerto Rico, Barbados, Bahamas, Coco Cay, St. Maarten, and Antigua,

Miami, Switzerland, Cologne, Dusseldorf, Berlin, and Cartagena.

*

I sailed aboard the vessel Creole Queen,

On the River Mississippi in New Orleans.

Rode on a tour bus to the Rocky Mountains in Colorado.

On a cruise ship, we sailed to Cozumel, Mexico.

*

It was a dream to visit the Eiffel Tower in Paris and the Vatican in Rome,

The breathtaking Trevi Fountain,  and the historical Colosseum.

Such a delight to explore the beautiful countryside in Florence,

How amazing and exciting it was to sail on a Gondola in Venice!

*

The Louvre in Paris and the Leaning Tower of Pisa thrilled me.

I can never forget the Spanish Steps in Rome, the Eternal City.

Stratford upon Avon, where Shakespeare was born.

And a picnic on the Walton Mariner on the River Thames in London.

*

Adventures with Royal Caribbean Majesty of the Seas and Liberty of the Seas.

Boat tour in New York to Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty.

Cruising on the River Rhine in Dusseldorf, Germany.

And a tour of the Quartier Renaissance in Lyon, France to sightsee.

*

Riding on the Euro star to El Poble and Toledo,

Both places in Spain are famous for Spanish Gold.

The CN Tower in Toronto is so very high.

I thought the elevator would take me to the sky.

*

And here is a verse about my country of birth.

Trinidad and Tobago is a hospitable country of mirth.

You will love the island life, beaches, and sunshine.

No matter where I roam, Trinidad and Tobago will always be home.

*

Travel, see the world, and leave your footprints behind.

Enjoy God’s Creation while you are alive.

May your journeys bring you stories to tell and more.

Happy World Tourism Day on September 27th, 2024.
