These lucky few
Going on a cruise to Cuba and the Caribbean brings it home to you how privileged we are compared to those we visit to see the sights.
Lying in the sun, lounging afternoons away,
Sifting memories, casting expectations,
Listening to voices exclaiming, declaiming,
Laughing, moaning, groaning,
In accents brash, broad and broken,
Feeling so lucky to be on board a ship
On a lazy sunfilled afternoon,
And not living on one of those islands
Where we only get to see their sunny side.
