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!
