Breakfast on a Family Holiday

We sit together on the villa's terrace
The day before us is bursting with promise
Bright sunlight, and birdsong, and just a light breeze.
We eat baguettes and croissants with jam and cheese.
Breathe in the fresh morning air and ask, smiling
"What shall we do today?"

May 1995
