Toddler's Day out

 









On this jolly day, on  a holiday, with parents 

hey toddler, you're having so much fun

even as, you have just learned to run !


There you are, running and chasing 

pacing with little  goats, birds 

and petting brown, white bunnies 

with love and tenderness...


Off  to the beach  at the resort's reach

for fun with water, splashing away in glee 

enjoying the lovely landscape too 

and then for a tour of  Kuah town 

to watch lovely sunset, turn orange & brown 


Finally, to end  great day,  exotic food

at fascinating restaurant, elegantly good 

mouth watering deserts like 'Cold creamy Godiva' 


By then toddler, you are fast asleep 

having said "Good bye" to a lovely day 

that can bring smiles years later 

sweet memories, told,  retold by parents and kid!
