I think "I Amsterdam"
Of course it was the wedding
Bringing us together
With Fabian and Karen
The best wedding ever!
Historic and surprising
In the old Lloyd Hotel
Pre-wedding preparations
For a boat ride so swell
Such patterns and colors
Bricks and concrete so define
The old Lloyd Hotel with
A more modern Dutch design
Our Indonesian dinner
That whirlwind tour by Tor
Through shopping streets-The Nines-while
Sharing his family lore
I stood in line for VanGogh
2 hours of rainy skies
All worth it for the time there
His story made me cry
Splendid gardens on display
Row upon row I gazed
A cacophony of TULIPS
The Keukenhof amazed!
We walked for miles & learned the trains
The week flashed by so fast
I wish that Rose and I took time
To take a yoga class
I'd like my morning coffee
Once more before we part
Finished off with Dutch detail
A great big creamy heart
Loving those calming canals
I might go on the lam
Escape from America
I think "I Amsterdam"
A love-letter to Amsterdam, inspired by giant letters spelling "I Amsterdam" outside the airport there.
