Nephew Tom's Cabin!

My “cabin” crew takes a short break

In bright sunlight; hats are worn

As under Aussie skies they bake

Hence wearing suncream is the norm.

 

Both photogenic, full of smiles

They know that Auntie beams with joy

When Mummy’s photos cross the miles

And give her moments to enjoy.

 

Their sense-of-self grows every day

Well-tutored now in school routine

But learning also comes through play;

The Great Outdoors - a happy scene!

 

Though warfare, climate change and drought

Are of great moment, they’re carefree

Too soon, alas, they’ll work things out;

I wonder what their views will be…
