I am bored!!!

You take your children on a bucket-list trip to see

A world-famous monument steeped in history

You are excited, you expect them to share

Your enthusiasm, but they do not care

They are completely indifferent when they behold

What is supposedly a magnificent sight, truth be told

They would rather go back to the hotel and stay

In the room than brave the long queues in the sun today

On one hand, you are awed by the view

On the other, you are annoyed at your children’s apathy too

You were expecting them to be appreciative of you

For bringing them to this place, but right now an expression of interest would do..

*

Then you remember-when you were young you were not

Interested in traveling to see monuments, the thought

Brings a smile to your face, and you forget

Your children’s complaints and reset

Your focus on enjoying the sight you came to see

After all, each individual experiences a world-renowned place of travel differently

*

You keep traveling with your family and one day

Your children would also be blown away

By majestic sights, just like you

Traveling would become a lot more pleasant too!
