Starting so sadly
Sights for a stable future stopped right there
He drank his way through delivering the devastation
And argued a point already acknowledged
Can't convince a none believer love conquers all
So started this day setting off a lone sole
As his sun sank down upon us

But yet here it was beginning
And at sunrise came new friendships
Short, but sweet and still special
Though only temporary whilst in transit
These friends are family for now
And as one we start a long journey down
Looking on toward the burning outback

A warm welcome wakes from heartbreak
And group games give grief no time
Then together truths are told
So comes caring comfort and consideration
For future now given here a while
It's impossible not to smile
With new hopes on the horizon

Journey joins natural beauty
Arriving at more falls filling a vast pool
And soon we're swimming in joy
So pleased to play in the cool croc waters
Our fears evaporated by burning sun
Together we make more juvenile fun
So time takes our morning quickly

Further through the driving distance
Meets our afternoon adventure
We paddle a slow pace apon the water
Struggling to be straight or strong enough
Doubling our distance with a wiggle
But yet doubled over in fits of giggles
And in awe of the gorge that surrounds

So triumph of well worked muscles
Deserves a reward breaking detox
And cold cider greets an evening eagerly
When we are welcomed by domestic upgrade
Mood excels excitement and we relish delight
We enjoy each other with games by night
And sleep soundly in our private pods

So the woes woken to were weakened
Suppressed by splendid surroundings
And complete comfort of new company
Displaced by new excitement of decisions
Though still sinking in grief
Minds worries have relief
And at sunrise a lone adventure begins
