We grow and learn and change along
Our experience expands in time and space
Enriching us in myriad ways
From the cozy comfort of our home
We traveled far to Paradise the Gathering Place
We frolicked in the very same ocean that we crossed
Eyeing the beautiful colors of turquoise, blue, and green
We took the boat to where the water ain’t deep
Then we walked barefoot to the coral reefs
And watched the yellow fishes lurk underneath
On the sandbars the water came to our knees
We breathed the ocean air and tasted the salt on our lips
We hiked the Kaena Point Trail to seek out the seals
But caught the albatross’ mating dance instead
We saw a man make fire and twirl it around on a stick
Then he was kind to give us each a crown made with flowers and a leaf
At the Bishop Museum we witnessed how lava was made
That was almost as exciting as when Ariel could walk on her legs
At Cirque de la Symphonie we saw people hang in the air
And gracefully glide on the ropes while music appeared
We saved Aulani Disney Resort for last
Where we went down the water slides and lay on the rafts
When the cool air made us feel a bit chilly
We left the Lazy River for the warmth of a hot tub
We miss many things our fun-filled week had brought us
Including the tasty foods and the nail polishing sessions
But most of all we treasure the time we got
To spend with loved ones and keep our memories connected
