Diminished

Anxiety starts to creep in just a bit
As my spouse plans an upcoming trip.
When not on a tour there's an excellent chance
Of a mishap, a problem or blip.

There are flights and hotels and connections to make 
Plus the weather and luggage and such.
How much time to spend here? Do we need more time there?
All these questions for me are too much.

But my husband explains we'll just do what we can;
Take it easy and all will be fine.
Expectations from younger days we must adjust -
Like a glass, not a bottle of wine.

It's okay to accept that we're somewhat diminished
For onward we travel - there's much left unfinished!
