Honeymoon Itinerary

Let’s leave the world behind

For a few days

And get away, along the paths

Of the green-rolling Adirondacks.

When we get back

We should rest and grown, in each others arms

To kiss and be passionate for a few weeks

While we build a home.

Then off to Londontown.

To see all the beauty

That was, and still lies

Inside it’s storm grey architecture.

Crossing the wave-beaten Channel

We arrive in France.

To eat the finest cheese,

To drink wine and to be merry.

Then to Italy,

With its churches and mountains.

Stopping in awe at the grandeur

Of the Forum and St Peter’s.

Finally, we arrive at that holy city:

Jerusalem, where at The Church

Of the Holy Sepulcher

You will pray and I will weep.
