I’m glad I’m here in Amsterdam

It’s not that big a surprise

How much I adore Amsterdam

Like immigrants long ago

So welcomed here just as I am

In the historic Lloyd Hotel

To witness a wedding so swell

I’m glad I’m here in Amsterdam

 

Canals and bikes aplenty

Whizzing past on every street

The Keukenhof gardens amazed

VanGogh’s Museum made me weep

I’m glad I’m here in Amsterdam

 

We walked for miles & took the train

Our flight home I made not a peep

It must have been that Space Cake

We ate it and went right to sleep

A fond farewell to Amsterdam

Notes

Just returned on a 10-hour flight from Amsterdam to Miami, after witnessing a magical wedding of my niece Karen & Fabian, her now Dutch husband, who shared their vows on a boat ride to the Skinny Bridge where they kissed to seal their love. The' Space Cake' made the plane ride back less painful!
