Day 181 -  Travel Restrictions

TRAVEL RESTRICTIONS

It’s Saturday night in 1974
and me and the boys are
heading out on the town.
We are breaking free.

After two years of studying
the results arrived today
And tonight we celebrate.
We are breaking free.

My mum will wait up for us
to come home safely.
To ensure that we are okay
as we all pretend to be sober.

And since she died, I celebrate
on many a Saturday night
not with beer, but in thanks
and by looking at the stars.

Remembering my walk home
at 2am back in 1974,
on a wonderful and precious,
starry Saturday night.

It’s now a Saturday night in 2020
and me and the wife
are flying out to Dubai.
We are breaking free.

We will stay there for fifteen nights
to meet quarantine rules,
so that we can fly on to the US
for the birth of our new grandson.

After four months
of a Covid lockdown
and living in a virtual world,
we are breaking free.

My mum will be waiting
to see that we arrive safely,
and to celebrate with us
the  arrival of her new great-grandson.

And so, we all journey onwards.
And I gaze out of the window
on this wonderful and precious,
starry Saturday night.
