Sightseeing at Home

My husband and I love to travel

And in cities we like to explore –

Museums and zoos

And places with views,

Plus gardens and markets galore.

 

We wander down street unfamiliar;

Try restaurants that we don’t know

And sometimes we chat

About where we’re all at

With some locals we’ll meet as we go.

 

Yet today, a few subway stops took us

To a cool park that we’d never seen

And I felt, I must say,

Just like we were away,

Getting out of our normal routine.

 

There are treasures so often forgotten

In the cities where we rest our heads

And we needn’t go far

To get to where they are

And still sleep in our own cozy beds!
