"Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid."
On dream holiday
Away, friends all, again,
Escape! Great!
The distractions only summer brings -
Nothing but sunshine for long days.
Cold ice-cream,
Suntan ... " 'Bin abroad?"
- neighbour's chippy!
The round trips, sightseeing,
Sole strain: on bank!
Rowing, family activity,
Main adventure, outdoor abandon.
Everyone faces long day ...
all inside garden, soaking up sun,
Chilling.
Chilling ...
Sun-up: soaking garden.
Inside all day,
Long faces.
Everyone, abandon outdoor adventure.
Main activity: family rowing - bank on strain!
Sole sightseeing trip's round the chippy.
Neighbours abroad.
Bin suntan cream.
Ice-cold days,
Long for sunshine,
But nothing brings summer.
Only distraction's
"The Great Escape" (again).
All friends away.
Holiday? Dream on!
