ON THE SEA ...
Un anchored we smoothly sailed along
surrendering to nature singing a happy song
adjusting our sails to the winds of time
with faith in the captain our hearts just chimed.
Was it a ship or a small fascinating town
Moving in the vast ocean up and down
Happy smiling faces with excitement around,
The waves roaring softly with a welcoming sound.
A group of chirpy lucky thirteen seniors
Cousins meeting after ages from far and near
Dining and dancing letting our hair down
No children around to disapprove and frown .
In the midst of a shimmering strong Baltic sea
We sail feeling bonded ,awesome and free
The silver peaked waves lash around
None on the earth own their roaring sound .
The journey started from Copenhagen town
Denmark the happiest country in the world countdown
A city of canals and smiling faces for sure
An enchanting place to start our exciting tour .
Late night celebrations and a good sleep
We wake up in Germany with the ships beep
Beautiful Watermunde and Rosstock we roam
There is folk dancing singing in the square under the dome .
Our next Port in Estonia is it's picturesque Tallin ,
The kissing sculpture a tribute to love that wins ,
The huge victory Column and the Freedom square
Reminds us of the Russian war and the independence fair .
SaintPetersurg in Russia our most awaited destination ,
Awesome city of Palaces ,Cathedrals and monuments ,
The majestic bronze horse with Saint Peter atop ,
The stunning Church on spilled blood was our next stop .
And now we entered the land of mid nights sun ,
It's Helsinki in Finland full of reindeers and flowery fun ,
The huge white Cathedral where a live band played
The markets were filled with exotic fruits we craved .
The next was Stockholm in Sweden our last dream port,
We roamed the city in a hip hop bus and boat in great sport
A mirage of Terracota monuments shimmering in the blue sea
The Vasa shipwreck and the museum enfolded the mystery .
Alas the last day on the ship was embraced with a sad sigh ,
We had gathered and bonded in the sea under the blue sky ,
We danced and sang together till we no longer could
We promised each other to repeat this and we should !!!!!
