Weekend In D.C. Poem by Karen Degnan-foiles

I ‘m home safe and sound
The trip was awesome
We saw Mr. Lincoln
And Tom’s place of stone

That pointy needle
In the center of the park
Looked so beautiful
In the stars and clear dark

We saw planes of hope
That those brothers built
And did you know
They also made bicycles’?

The mall was endless
The park’s dry as a bone
Gazing only as far as
My sore feet will go

Some things aren’t as grand
As you grew up to believe
They’re kinda small and bland
But did peak my curiosity

Then there are things
That are bigger than life
Taking your breathe away
Those were the highlights

Like taking a walk with the love of my life
Holding hands, enjoying the night
Taking the cab or subway
Together, side by side

Those things I’ll keep close to my heart
Things I got to see, with him beside me
In such a short time, we’ve made such memories
And am looking forward to making our history
