Adieu America

Adieu America

Adieu America till I come again

Back to India where I do belong. 

The vacation filled with fun and frolic

Extending all help as much as I could

And hearts to bond with family good

T'was a happy moment that I stepped on your soil

To grace the ocassion of newborn Mira--- the 2nd grandchild.

Kyra and Mira my two jewels make me so proud

To relive the joyous childhood of my dear son.

Being called Dadi is now music to ears.

The walks in the meadow trail with green forest around.

The golden grass field spread uptill farthest ground

Turned lush green when downpoured for a week

The black birds ornated with orange crest

Right where their wings do attach

Displayed full orange balls when flew in the air.

Spotting a deer was a rare treat

And little baby snake coiled on a toadstool

Enjoying the sun , the sight so vivid.

A visit to Niagra how could I forget

Gorging froth of water for eyes to savour.

A rainbow spread added colour to the water

I Gracefully bowed at God's roaring power

A short and sweet visit to California

The vineyards, the golden gate bridge

The Union square with a tall pillar

And standing atop statue of an Admiral

Skyscrapers surrounding looking so grand

All of them flashed on my memory span

Adieu America till I come again

Your sweet memories shall cherish within

Bidding you farewell with tear filled eyes

Thanking all hosts for the love they showered
