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!
